Jansons adopts...an approach which takes into consideration the historically informed approach of the last 30 years, but is still aware of what performances were like in the great German tradition...If you want vigorous conducting, immaculate but lean playing, and unfailingly sprightly tempos in the Beethven, this set is for you.

Here is a masterclass in rehearsal technique...Jansons is demanding, concise, collegial, genial, totally focused, always keen to involve the orchestra in a shared journey of discovery...The performances are intelligently filmed
