National Symphony Orchestra, Kennedy Center & Gianandrea Noseda - Beethoven: Symphonies Nos 1 & 3 (2022) [24/96]

“Noseda’s Third [Beethoven Symphony] was a charm, deferential to the symphony's deliberate designs but deliberate enough to enhance its details in high resolution, polish its surface, restore its gleam."

The National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) and Music Director Gianandrea Noseda will release the first installment of their complete Beethoven symphony cycle, a recording of Symphonies Nos. 1 & 3.

In the 2021–2022 season,Music Director Gianandrea Noseda led the National Symphony Orchestra in performances of Beethoven’s symphonies 1, 3, 4, and 5. Next season, the NSO will complete its Beethoven cycle with performances of the remainder of Beethoven’s nine symphonies in May and June 2023. This initial release of the NSO’s performances of Symphonies Nos. 1 and 3 was recorded live in January 2022 at the Kennedy Center’s Concert Hall.

Gianandrea Noseda on the first installment of the NSO’s Beethoven Cycle:

“Anytime I approach a new cycle of Beethoven Symphonies, it is a major challenge. Beethoven’s power can be a shadow or a light that embraces all of the centuries. His music has freshness and strength, and an openness that never stops to shock, attract, and overwhelm me. The artists of the National Symphony Orchestra reflect this in their performances. Listeners will experience the bold statement of Symphony No. 1 and the bolder statement that is Symphony No. 3. Both are immense works and herald the beginning of our journey to climb this musical Everest.”
