Beethoven: Symphony 7

The recording of Beethoven's extraordinary 7th Symphony in A major op. 92 is the eagerly awaited sibling album to Beethoven's Fifth with Teodor Currentzis and MusicAeterna. Both symphonies were recorded in August 2018 at the Vienna Konzerthaus. For Currentzis, Beethoven's Seventh is of a perfection like no other symphony in terms of its form. He compares its perfect structure with the Parthenon in Athens, the central masterpiece of classical architecture, whose sophisticated, ideally coordinated proportions serve a higher, spiritual beauty, with which Athena, the patron goddess of the city, should be celebrated.
