7/5 of Beethoven: Part 1 (CD/SACD Reviews)
[…] about (my main memory of his Beethoven was that his Eroica was exhilarating but not my favorite while his Ninth just struck me as perverse).In addition, in the early 2000s Norrington made another recording of the cycle, this time with the Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart, of which he was Principal Conductor from 1998 to 2011. In 2016 the orchestra for budgetary reasons was merged with another Stuttgart-based orchestra, the Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra, to form the SWR Symphonieorchester, whose current Chief Conductor is none other than – you can’t make this stuff up – Teodor Currentzis. But back to Gardiner. His Beethoven cycle has gained wide acclaim and has generally been considered to be the best of the period-instrument bunch.

The concert recorded at Liederhalle Stuttgart, on December 14, 2018.✻1985 was a watershed year in Alfred Schnittke's life, in good ways and bad. It was a tremendously prolific year, seeing the composition of some of Schnittke's most famous, personality-defining works – his String Trio, his Third Concerto Grosso, the first two movements of his First Cello Concerto, and his Viola Concerto. However, these works seem to have come at a cost: soon after the completion of the Trio, Schnittke suffered his first serious strokes. This catastrophic turn would have immense effect: just as Schnittke's work was entering a kind of "archetype" stage, it would shift radically. Everything after that fateful year, as Schnittke remarked in 1988, would now […]
