Mariss Jansons conducts Beethoven 1-9
He is the favorite conductor of the top-orchestras and we had to wait for Mariss Jansons very own Beethoven interpretation quite long, but finally his complete recordings of the nine Beethoven Symphonies are there - and if we believe him this recording will stay the only one made by him!
