The Gewandhaus Orchestra's history of playing the nine symphonies of Ludwig van Beethoven extends back to 1825, when the composer was still alive, and these masterworks have been a mainstay of their repertoire ever since. After Riccardo Chailly took the helm of the Gewandhaus Orchestra in 2005, the idea of performing the full cycle for Decca under his direction became an imperative, and the recordings were made between 2007 and 2009. Chailly's Beethoven draws on the traditions of performance long honored in Leipzig, so the interpretations of the symphonies have more than a little of historically informed practice about them, while still being connected to the mainstream. Tempos are generally brisk and textures are immaculate, while the strings play with minimal vibrato, and the winds offer distinctive and colorful sonorities. So the ideals of authentic period practice are realized without annoying mannerisms, and the music has all the dynamic flexibility and robust qualities that everyone wants in Beethoven. This deluxe set comes in a sturdy hardcover book, with the five discs held in stiff cardboard sleeves that show photographs from different angles of Max Klinger's massive Beethoven statue; the whole package is housed in a slip cover. Decca's sound quality is crisp and clean, with nearly ideal resonance.
