Description:

First CD with Brüchen and Modern Orchestra! Complete Beethoven Symphonies with the New Japan Philharmonic! Master musician France Brüchen (1934-2014) is now available with his beloved New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra in the complete Beethoven cycle. This is the first time in the world that Brüchen's recordings with modern orchestra have been released. He was originally a tall, thin man, but during this period he became even leaner and his eyes were even sharper. The performance is as brilliant as his eyes full of vitality. Beethoven's performance is full of exceptional leadership and novel ideas, which are far removed from the simple notion that a period approach is the correct way to perform Beethoven's music. This is the quintessential example of Brüchen's agitation and expressiveness. The recording is excellent, and it is no wonder that the widow, soloists, and choir have agreed to release this recording. Bound in a beautifully bound matrimonial box. The orchestra is arranged with violins on both wings. Cello on the right side, viola and double bass on the left side. Tobu Shoji Co.
