Beethoven / Wallisch Resound Beethoven 8 CD

Resound brings Beethoven's symphonies and concertos back into the concert halls in which they were performed during the composer's lifetime. Four of the six venues for the premieres of the nine symphonies still survive, as do the eight Viennese halls and theatres in which Beethoven's orchestral works were played during his lifetime. The Orchester Wiener Akademie and it's conductor Martin Haselb?ck continue the Resound Beethoven series, performed on period instruments and scrupulously respecting the orchestral layout of 200 years ago. Volume 7 is devoted to the Fourth Symphony, and the Piano Concerto No.4 in G major op.58, first performed in 1807. The recording took place in the Palais Lobkowitz in Vienna, in the venue of their premiere in March 1807. The concerto is performed by the Austrian pianist Gottlieb Wallisch, who was also heard on the previous volume.
