¡Beethoven: Overtures
¡Sir Colin Davis
Description
[Machine Translation] A stately Beethoven in the Herkulessaal, one of the best acoustics in Europe. Excellent recording. Colin Davis was appointed Chief Conductor of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in 1983, succeeding Robert Kubelik, and his career with the orchestra continued until his departure in 1992. This is a rare recording made for CBS in 1985, before he started recording for RCA. Davis's weighty performance in Munich's Herkulessaal, with its outstanding acoustics, is more German than German in its musical density and depth of expression, and ideally reproduces the passionate drama that Beethoven entrusted to each of his works. This is a favorite disc of the audio critic Okihiko Kanno, who used it as a tuning disc for his audio system, and it is coupled with the recording of the Leonore Overture No. 2 from the same venue for the 1995 RCA recording of the complete Fidelio. Recorded October 29-31, 1985 and May 15-25, 1995 at Herkulessaal, Munich, Germany.
