5 out of 5 stars

March/April 2020

[Pastoral Symphony] This is a symphony that sounds as if Beethoven wrote it with the Vienna Philharmonic in mind, and their golden river of sound is irresistible, especially in the scene by the brook. Everything unfolds so well that this ranks as a wonderful performance, well worth saving in a celebratory year.

November 2019

How refreshing that Andris Nelsons comes to the Beethoven symphonies with no discernible interpretative axe to grind...Yet neither does he steer down the middle of the road. Unpredictable might be a succinct description of Nelsons’s interpretative approach...In addition to his ability to create audible drama from the harmonic surprises and tensions in Beethoven’s music, Nelsons also seems to have an innate sense of its ebb and flow.
