Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe present Beethoven’s nine symphonies in what is the very first recorded cycle to be based on the recently concluded New Complete Edition of the composer’s works. “I’m interested in how Beethoven’s music can surprise us today,” says Maestro Nézet-Séguin. “Our interpretation should make the audience feel as if they were hearing this music for the first time. That is my goal.”Symphony No. 7 in A major, op. 9226. 1. Poco sostenuto – Vivace [13:27]27. 2. Allegretto [8:55]28. 3. Presto [8:10]29. 4.
