Our Take

To say that Beethoven's symphonies are iconic would be like saying water is wet. But that doesn't mean there isn't a new take worth exploring. Enter Antonello Manacorda and Kammerakademie Potsdam, who have taken on the formidable challenge of performing Beethoven's Complete Symphonies.

From the bombastic opening of Symphony No. 1 to the transcendent finale of Symphony No. 9, this album is a rollercoaster of emotions. Manacorda's direction is as bold as Beethoven himself, infusing each symphony with energy and passion. The Kammerakademie Potsdam are a tight-knit ensemble, navigating the intricate rhythms and dynamics of Beethoven's compositions with aplomb.

Standout moments include the haunting beauty of Symphony No. 7 and the jubilant triumph of Symphony No. 5. Manacorda and the Kammerakademie Potsdam bring a freshness and vitality to these well-worn classics, reminding us why Beethoven's music continues to resonate centuries later.

So, is this album a must-have for Beethoven aficionados? Absolutely. Is it for everyone? Maybe not. But if you're looking for a new perspective on these timeless masterpieces, Antonello Manacorda and Kammerakademie Potsdam have you covered. Be prepared to be dazzled, delighted, and maybe even a little bit moved.
