BEETHOVEN UNLIMITED
The complete Beethoven Symphonies in historic chamber transcriptions
"In the year we celebrate 250 years since the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven, we need more than ever his Symphonies, symbols of strength of the human spirit and of fellowship. The chamber transcription signed by Beethoven himself and his illustrious disciples and colleagues aimed to bring the Symphonies to peoples homes, before the age of recording technology and in a time when symphonic concerts were much less available to the audience. The challenges of 2020 made us take on the mission to reclaim this 19th Century musical practice."
