Beethoven: Symphonies & Overtures;

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Otto Klemperer's death, EMI Classics pays tribute
to the incomparable conductor with the release of an extensive edition luxurious
yet affordably-priced boxsets. Beethoven s symphonies & overtures have always been of high interest to all types of
music lovers. Beethoven struggled with deafness, constantly searching deep inside his
inner being for a spark of inspiration. Klemperer, having fights for his own life, could
relate to this compelling desire to express what was inside of him. This 10-CD set not
only includes the complete symphonies but also all nine overtures and extracts from the
Incidental music to Egmont and the ballet The Creatures of Prometheus.
