Beethoven will always be known for his symphonies and concertos, but no collection of his orchestral works would be complete without the overtures and theater music. The remarkable range of these works is evident in the majestic and solemn overture The Consecration of the House, which invokes the style of Handel, whom Beethoven called “the master of us all.” It contrasts with the determined heroism and great tragedy of Coriolan and the remarkable cantata Meeresstille und glückliche Fahrt, which captivated Mendelssohn. These classic recordings with the Minnesota Orchestra conducted by Stanisław Skrowaczewski were originally released as part of a 3-LP VoxBox set. |
