The relationship between conductor and orchestra is a very special one and no where more so than that of Hans Vonk and the SLSO. Hans Vonk was the music director of the orchestra for six years before a serious neurological condition forced him to retire in 2002. This release, part of a series, is a testament to Vonk’s pure musicality and gift as a conductor of great staure. He died in 2004. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Beethoven: Symphony No. 7
“As a totality, the disc is consequently bitty, but the performance of the Seventh ranks, without question, among the greatest ever recorded. With the Budapest Festival Orchestra playing as if their lives depended on it, it's superbly articulated, thrillingly elated and emotionally exhausting. Weber, on first hearing the work, wondered whether its composer was insane, and for once you understand why. Utterly compelling.” The Guardian, 18th April 2008 ***** “Fischer and his players romp through the finale like devils possessed, pausing only when strings wrestle for supremacy.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2008 “Fischer… offers a sparkling performance of the popular overture to Rossini's The Italian Girl in Algiers, and his account of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony is impressive, with the major-mode episodes of the famous second movement warm and glowing, and the Dionysiac finale tremendously exciting.” BBC Music Magazine, April 2008 ***** | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

| |  | Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 2, 3 & 7
Produced after the complete set of symphonies published to mark the Beethoven bicentenary year, 1970, these are Böhm’s last recordings of Beethoven symphonies. His interpretations convince by their relaxed, fresh atmosphere and by the way in which Böhm carefully models the total sound through all the instruments. The effects of contrast so typical of Beethoven, far from being underplayed, come across powerfully. At the same time we sense Böhm’s grasp of the dramatic structure of the whole work: schooled as he was in the opera house, this guarantees the vitality and verve of his interpretation. Here, Beethoven’s revolutionary quality is transmuted into classicism. Live in Munich 1973/78. | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
