“I think the Beethoven symphonies with the Divan orchestra is different in the sense that there is a terrific amount of energy because of the youth of the people – but there is just as much rigour. The combination of rigour with youthful energy is very strong” (Daniel Barenboim, speaking in the TV documentary on this project). The Symphonies were recorded in August 2011 in Cologne, the glorious (final) instalment of a worldwide tour that began in August 2010 at the legendary Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires and will cover four continents by 2012. The orchestra’s 2012 engagements include a European tour culminating in the performance of all Nine Symphonies at the BBC Proms. | | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Beethoven: Clair de Luneand other Romantic Piano Masterpieces
The Romantic age corresponds to the time when composers turned their backs on the sophisticated forms patiently perfected by their eighteenth-century predecessors and music began to speak of love, childhood, dreams, memories, and the natural world: in short, it became more introspective and personal. | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days.
