Simon Rattle conducts Beethoven’s Symphonies Nos. 1 and 3
Performing all the Beethoven symphonies is always a unique project. After a first series in 2008, the Berliner Philharmoniker and Simon Rattle presented their interpretation once again in October 2015. The starting point is the First Symphony, whose dissonant opening chord already announces the exciting individuality of the cycle – before the fierce Eroica conclusively breaks with all musical standards of the time.
