Recordings of all the Beethoven symphonies with their chief conductor are always a milestone in the artistic work of the Berliner Philharmoniker. So it was with Herbert von Karajan and Claudio Abbado, and expectations are correspondingly high for this cycle conducted by Sir Simon Rattle. Where does the special status of these symphonies come from? Simon Rattle has an explanation: “One of the things Beethoven does is to give you a mirror into yourself – where you are now as a musician.” In fact, this music contains such a wealth of extreme emotions and brilliant compositional ideas that reveal the qualities of the orchestra and its conductor as if under a magnifying glass.

阿巴多曾多次成功地指挥过贝多芬的交响曲，这次全新的演录凝聚着他几十年来潜心研究的心血。在所有9部交响曲中，阿巴多始终遵循着一个信条：贝多芬的每一部交响曲都是伟大的杰作，你永远可以从中找到更为深刻的内涵，永远可以从它的形式中找到更为丰富的内容，爱乐者不容错过。 本片为一代指挥大师-阿巴多率领柏林爱乐2000年于家乡意大利及柏林爱乐厅的实况演出，并是阿巴多担任柏林爱乐总监的告别演出，意义格外不凡，除了引用最新乐谱的版本，再加上阿巴多的指挥功力，让整段乐曲彷若脱胎换骨，充满精神、力道、格局与气势，可一窥大师呈现新世纪充满现代意象的交响乐章。 柏林爱乐在阿巴多的领导下绽放出晶莹剔透的醇美音色，充分展现了前所未有的贝多芬交响曲特色，合唱部分并由瑞典当代最著名的合唱指挥家-艾立克．艾立森(Eric Ericson)率领的瑞典电台合唱团演唱，他们各声部淋漓尽致的合声技巧，将颂扬自由的「快乐颂」完美的呈现给世人。 《贝多芬交响曲全集》近十年贝多芬交响曲最佳演绎，英国留声机杂志、企鹅评鉴、亚马逊网站爱乐5星推荐、全球专业媒体强烈推荐，采用最新版本乐谱。世界顶尖乐团阿巴多告别柏林爱乐的经典之作。在这套唱片里，最令人惊喜的是贝多芬的“第九”。阿巴多为我们奉献了一部充满激情的宛如火山爆发一般令人震撼的作品，这个版本比富特文格勒那著名的“拜洛伊特”版整整快了12分钟，这套录音中的“第五”、“第六”和“第七”交响曲听起来也同样非常的生动紧凑，而阿巴多在指挥“第一”和“第二”交响曲时则着意弱化了管弦乐队的演奏力度，更为传神地演绎出了这两部作品本身所蕴藏着的浪漫主义气息，而“第四”和“第八”这两部最能展现贝多芬创作天才的伟大作品在阿巴多的指挥棒下，每一个音符都成为了经典。 阿巴多在担任柏林爱乐乐团首席指挥的过程中，一直未曾录制过贝多芬的交响曲。直到任期的最后一年，经过精心准备的阿巴多才开始录制贝多芬的交响曲全集。这一次，他又为我们留下了一套绝世经典。

1779. Eight-year-old Ludwig van Beethoven, called "Louis", is already known as a musical prodigy. He learns to go his own way - much to the dismay of the people around him. Some years later, he meets Mozart during times of political upheaval. The unconventional genius and French Revolution are sparking a fire in Louis' heart; he doesn't want to serve a master - only the arts. Facing times of family tragedies and unrequited love, he almost gives up. However, Louis makes it to Vienna to study under Haydn in 1792, and the rest is history. Who was this man, whose music has since touched countless hearts and minds? At the end of his life, the master is isolated by loss of loved ones and hearing. Surely though, he was way ahead of his times.

This movie shows us one day in Berlin, the rhythm of that time, starting at the earliest morning and ends in the deepest night.
