Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 1-9 (Abbado) [DVD] [2008] [NTSC]

With this box containing all nine Beethoven Symphonies, MediciArts pays tribute to a consummate conductor, Claudio Abbado, and to his very special relationship, not only with the symphonic genius of Beethoven but also with the world class Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. When they performed and recorded all nine Beethoven Symphonies at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome, 2001, the nationwide Italian newspaper La Repubbica simply called it 'The most wonderful symphonic cycle of the past decade.'
