    Emmanuel Krivine - complete symphonies

    7. Emmanuel Krivine: Complete Symphonies

    For accuracy and innovation, we salute this fantastic recording of the complete symphonies by Emmanuel Krivine and La Chambre Philharmonique. Our resident Beethoven expert John Suchet had the following to say about it: "It's a different, stripped-down sound for the symphonies that Beethoven himself would have recognised."
