Beethoven - Symphonies 1-9

Daniel Barenboim and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra unlock the world-changing powers of Beethoven’s symphonies in a gripping DVD boxset. Barenboim and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra came to London to create one of the landmarks of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad. Their cycle of Beethoven’s nine symphonies, presented within the span of a week at the BBC Proms, marked the end of a three-year world tour in company with the composer’s revolutionary works. The beguiling process of preparing and performing Beethoven was caught on film by Michael Waldman and Peter Dale.
