Компакт-диск CD Beethoven L. V. - The Complete Works (Warner) (80CD)

В 2020 году исполняется 250 лет со дня рождения Людвига ван Бетховена. В связи с этим, Warner Classics приготовил всем поклонникам творчества великого композитора великолепный подарок - Beethoven: The Complete Works

Это полное издание Бетховена следует за главным успехом других исчерпывающих выпусков Warner Classics - Дебюсси и Берлиоза, признанных лучшими в своем роде. Бокс-сет, включающий 80CD предлагает записи исключительного художественного и технического уровня по цене, которая представляет собой выдающееся соотношение цены и качества.

Тщательно отобранные из каталогов Warner Classics и Erato и дополненные работами, лицензированными из внешних каталогов, записи полностью отражают необычайную широту, разнообразие и глубину творчества Бетховена. Издание включает в себя классические записи эпохи винила, но большинство сборников, прежде всего полных циклов (симфонии, концерты для фортепиано, сонаты для фортепиано, струнные квартеты и т. д.), содержат записи, которые представляют лучшее из эры CD.

В издании представлены такие знаменитые исполнители, как: Artemis Quartet, Даниэль Баренбойм, Рудольф Бухбиндер, Рено Капюсон, Дитрих Фишер-Дискау, Карло Мария Джулини, Бернард Хайтинк, Николаус Арнонкур, Отто Клемперер, Стивен Ковачевич, Йо Йо Ма, Иегуди Менухин, Ицхак Перлман, Жаклин Дю Пре, Андраш Шифф, Янош Штаркер.

Примечательно, что около 300 треков специально записаны для бокса.

Великолепный 120-страничный буклет включает аннотацию Дэвида Вин Джонса - профессора музыки в Университете Кардиффа. Он является непререкаемым авторитетом в музыке классического периода, в частности, Гайдна, Бетховена и других представителей венской классической школы.
