Radio Philharmonic Orchestra with Beethoven 8

Beethoven's Eighth Symphony is one of his most optimistic works. A case of classical grandeur full of powerful rhythms and elegant melodies. This delightful symphony is paired with another masterpiece of Romanticism: Schumann's Violin Concerto. German violin magician Isabelle Faust absolutely knows her way around it.

Schwung

With great schwung, Beethoven takes the listener through the caverns of the human soul in his Eighth Symphony . Light and darkness, hope and doubt alternate. A jewel in the crown of the young, brilliant German conductor Thomas Guggeis, who casts a daring, contemporary eye on the iron repertoire.

Flawless technique

Also from Germany comes violinist Isabelle Faust. Whether contemporary or classical, Faust throws all her energy into the fray. It will be no less so in her rendition of Schumann's enticing Violin Concerto. Gramophone was full of praise for Faust's outstanding Schumann interpretations, praising her "flawless technique and matchless musical intelligence.
