Antonello Manacorda and the Kammerakademie Potsdam (KAP) are now hotly anticipated in Europe. Manacorda was born in Turin and started as a violinist who studied with the master musicians Klebers and Gulli. After working as Abbado's right-hand man as concertmaster of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, he turned to conducting, and since 2010, as principal conductor of the KAP, he has quickly transformed this chamber orchestra into one of Europe's leading institutions. The orchestra employs period techniques for the string parts and ancient instruments for the brass and timpani, and their performances are full of vitality and songfulness. This is the second recording of Beethoven's complete symphonies after the complete performances and recordings of Schubert and Mendelssohn, and it was recorded at the acoustically superb Pierre Boulez Saal. Anyone who wants to tackle a recording of the complete Beethoven symphonies must first start by asking, does the world really need it? So we waited.Six or seven years ago, we performed all nine of Beethoven's symphonies in one weekend in Potsdam. The task of preparing to perform such a huge body of work in such a relatively short time frame was a very important experience for all of us. This year, in our 20th year of existence, we felt we had matured enough to take on this Beethoven project. --Antonello Manacorda (2021) [cover artwork] Jorinde Forkt, \"Symphonic Parts \/ Rhythmus Berlin I\" Sony Music\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Classical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47841623048481,"sku":"196587918224","price":1300.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/196587918224.jpg?v=1705371875","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ph\/products\/196587918224","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
