Andris Nelsons on Recording Beethoven’s Symphonies with the Wiener Philharmoniker

Beethoven has been central to Andris Nelsons’ work since he began his career in the early 2000s. The Latvian conductor garnered rave reviews for his 2013-14 Beethoven cycle with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and scored critical acclaim for more recent Beethoven performances as Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Leipzig Gewandhausorchester. In March and April this year he joined the Wiener Philharmoniker, the world’s supreme Beethoven orchestra, for a series of concerts including works by the composer in Vienna, Hamburg and Hanover, and for the final recording sessions at the Vienna Musikverein of their complete symphony cycle for Deutsche Grammophon.

I never paid attention to Maestro Andris in Birmingham, but the first time I heard to him I went into a state of shock the greatest director I have ever met in the last 30 years. Boston and Leipzig are very lucky having such amazing and charismatic conductor. Merci bocou!
