Adam Fischer,Danish CO,2019- BEETHOVEN: Symphonies 1 - 9 (2019)[flac/24/96]
Beethoven‘s symphonies pose without any doubt one of the greatest artistic challenges to every conductor. Of the countless questions about what an authentic interpretation means, I am addressing only one here, namely the problem of Beethoven’s metronome markings. As we know, the first metronomes were built in Vienna during Beethoven’s lifetime and he did then give metronome markings to his pieces (retrospectively in most cases).
For generations, the musical world has debated the subject of how to approach these metronome markings and to what extent a close adherence to Beethoven’s tempi must form an integral part of a faithful rendering of Beethoven’s work. In my student days it was still generally believed that Beethoven’s metronome was faulty, on the grounds that the tempi were too fast and unplayable. So, the markings had to be wrong. Later, especially with the advent of period instrument ensembles, some recordings were made which were unwavering in their strict adherence to Beethoven’s tempi, for better or worse so to speak.
The Danish Chamber Orchestra already began their work with Beethoven's symphonies in 2013. However, after the break with DR, the project was restarted, and the release date was set for May 2019. The complete recordings of the nine BEETHOVEN symphonies were thus created in the orchestra's period as a private ensemble.
The release has been made possible thanks to generous support from three large Danish foundations:
The Augustinus Foundation, The Louis-Hansen Foundation and The A.P. Møller Foundation. The recordings have taken place immediately after intensive and well-attended concerts at the orchestra's old "home ground": the concert hall of the former Radio in Copenhagen, which is now home to theRoyal Danish Academy of Music.
