Beethoven: Symphonies 5 & 6 (Pastoral) - Weingartner/Walter (Avid Master Series)

Beethoven’s dramatic Fifth meets the gentler landscapes of his Sixth, the Pastoral, in this Avid Master Series pairing of historic performances.

The Fifth moves from its familiar four-note opening towards a triumphant finale. The Pastoral takes a different path, evoking country life, a flowing brook and a passing storm. Together, they offer two contrasting sides of Beethoven’s orchestral writing.

Felix Weingartner and Bruno Walter belong to an earlier generation of conductors whose recordings remain part of the history of Beethoven interpretation.
