About

Nominated for the Classical Brits in 2012, Emmanuel Krivine's period-instrument set on Naïve is now repressed due to popular demand.

La Chambre Philharmonique was formed by Emmanuel Krivine and is made up of instrumentalists from the finest European ensembles. Its structure is original, in that conductor and players enjoy equal status and current members choose new players. The size of the ensemble is flexible, bringing together players, instruments and historical techniques as appropriate for each programme. The orchestra’s first recording of Mozart’s Mass in C Minor (V5043) marked the beginning of its collaboration with Naïve. This was followed by the world premiere recording on period instruments of Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 ‘From the New World’, coupled with Schumann’s Konzertstück for four horns and orchestra, which won a Classique d’Or RTL on its release in 2008. Since then its CDs of Mendelssohn’s Symphonies (V5069) and Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony (V5202) have received numerous awards in the press. These performances of the complete Beethoven Symphonies were recorded in three French venues, Cite de la Musique in Paris, MC2: Grenoble, and the Theatre de Caen).

Nominated for the Classical Brits in 2012, Emmanuel Krivine's period-instrument set on Naïve is now repressed due to popular demand.

"here is an unheralded period-instrument set to challenge Messrs Vanska, Zinman, Mackerras and the rest. Characterful and confident, it demands to be heard....I am inclined to place this new cycle fairly near the top of the pile" Rob Cowan, Gramophone Gramophone Editor's Choice, July 2011

"if you are yet to invest in a collection of these symphonies but were never sure which version to go for, then hesitate no longer." James McCarthy, Classic FM Magazine, June 2011 *****

"Emmanuel Krivine's set, recorded live at concerts given in Grenoble, Caen and Paris in 2009, is spectacular - largely because whilst listening you're convinced that what you're hearing is is the only way this music should ever sound...a fantastic bargain, and possibly the most consistently enjoyable period-instrument recording available." Graham Rickson, The Arts Desk

Reviews

June 2011

Perhaps the first thing that will strike you about these recordings is that they certainly don't hang around...This may come as a shock to those used to more indulgent, romantically-inclined accounts, but I'm sure that all will be won over by these consistently engaging performances...I particularly love the way that the orchestra tears into the propulsive rhythms of the Seventh Symphony...These are wonderful performances

July 2011

In providing us with this vital, meekly played and always engaging new period-instrument Beethoven cycle, Emmanuel Krivine is effectively challenging what has in recent years become an all-too-familiar template of sleek, bloodless lines and fast-lane tempi...Krivine knows how to slam a Beethovenian sforzando without breaking glass...He knows how to let the music breathe, too - where to put on the pressure and where to ease off again

18th June 2011

Krivine's set...is spectacular – largely because whilst listening you’re convinced that what you’re hearing is the only way that this music should ever sound. The effect is uproarious, occasionally shocking and consistently exhilarating. The orchestral sound is inevitably sparer, thinner, but the colours are much sharper...This is a fantastic bargain, and possibly the most consistently enjoyable period-instrument recording available.
