Its founder, Ferdinand Löwe, served as the orchestra's chief conductor for 25 years, and since then, such renowned conductors as Furtwängler, Karajan, Sawallisch, Giulini, and Prêtre have stepped to the podium to refine the orchestra's sound. The Vienna Symphony Orchestra has recorded many great performances, but surprisingly, there has been no recording of Beethoven's complete symphonies until now. To fill that void, Philip Jordan will be releasing a series of performances beginning in the fall of 2017. This first album includes Symphonies Nos. 1 and 3, performed in 2017. According to the booklet, Jordan considers both works to be innovative and groundbreaking, especially No. 3, which, rather than the title \"Hero,\" uses a \"Promethean theme\" in the last movement. He says that he performed No. 3 from his own unique perspective, \"I related various motives from the beginning of No. 1 so that the last movement of No. 3 would be the greatest climax of the piece. The audience will enjoy the innovative Beethoven music born from his thoughtful interpretation.Japanese translation of the booklet - Taro Saito, Naxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Symphony No. 1 in C major Op. 21: Adagio molto - Allegro con brio\u003cbr\u003e2.Symphony No. 1 in C major Op. 21: Andante cantabile con moto\u003cbr\u003e3.Symphony No. 1 in C major Op. 21: Menuetto.
