Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 4 and 7 (Vladimir Jurowski) (2010)

Vladimir Jurowski conducts Beethoven gathers the lesser known Symphony No. 4 - composed when Beethoven was enjoying one of the most peaceful times of his life - with the celebrated Symphony No. 7 and the Coriolan Overture. For this performance filmed live at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, Vladimir Jurowski chose to collaborate with the musicians of the world famous Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment who perform on period instruments, shedding a radically different light on works that we are so accustomed to hear on modern instruments. As the youngster of todays classical music scene, Jurowski already gained international stardom in conducting.
