A beautiful, expansive performance that vividly depicts reverence for nature
Munch, leading the Rotterdam Philharmonic, recreates Beethoven's "Pastoral" with clarity and emotion. Passion and poetry are alive in the flowing tempo, and the beauty of the natural scenery is vividly portrayed in this expansive and beautiful performance.
This performance highlights Munch's characteristically relaxed and energetic baton. The tempo is slightly fast, but the flow is natural, and each movement is organically connected. The bright sounds of the wind instruments and the soft tones of the strings harmonize, creating an expression that evokes the breath of nature. The recording is also clear, with great depth and transparency of sound. A familiar yet elegant performance of "Pastoral" that balances emotional expression and composition.
