Beethoven 9 conducted by Ivan Fisher
Famous for his unconventional interpretations that play with everything from staging to tempos, conductor Iván Fischer approaches Beethoven like no one else. Fischer and his “consistently glorious” Budapest Festival Orchestra (New York Times) present Beethoven’s last symphonies, beginning with the concise gem of the Eighth and ending with the “symphony to end all symphonies,” Beethoven’s rapturous Ninth.
