Mark Stone, a promising British baritone who has collaborated with Thomas Adès on recordings such as Adès’s “Dance of Death,” richly expresses Beethoven’s passion, bitterness, and even his comical expressions.\nTokyo M-Plus\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.
