Product Description ------------------- Doing full justice to Beethoven’s awe-inspiring, but profoundly humane genius, this is Warner Classics’ first-ever complete edition of his works. It draws discerningly on the riches of the label’s catalogue, assuring integrity by assigning entire cycles to the same artist, ensemble or team of performers. Classics from the age of the LP are complemented by the best of the CD era and by a wealth of new s of rarely heard works that are ripe for discovery. This is a comprehensive and most satisfying tribute to Beethoven, a transformative force who has enhanced the lives of music-lovers for more than two centuries. 2020 marks the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s birth. This complete Beethoven edition follows the major success of Warner Classics’ complete Debussy and Berlioz editions, acknowledged as the best of their kind. The 80CD set offers s of exceptional artistic and technical quality at a price that represents outstanding value for money. Carefully selected from the Warner Classics and Erato catalogues, and complemented by items licensed in from external catalogues, the s do full justice to the extraordinary breadth, diversity and depth of Beethoven’s oeuvre. The edition includes classic s from the LP era, but the majority of the collection, above all the complete cycles (symphonies, piano concertos, piano sonatas, string quartets etc.), comprise s that represent the best of the CD era.
