The Symphonies: A Beethoven Journey

Iulia Maria Dan (soprano), AJ Glueckert (tenor), Mikhail Petrenko (bass (vocal)), Ema Nikolovska (mezzo-soprano), Verbier Festival Orchestra, Münchener Bach-Chor, Gábor Takács-Nagy

Overall: it’s probably no one’s idea of a perfect Beethoven cycle, least of all Takács-Nagy’s. But for the insights of a lifetime’s accumulated wisdom in this music, it’s required listening. — Gramophone Magazine, September 2023
