Beethoven's Seventh is a dazzling exploration of the orchestral palette and a masterful demonstration of rhythmic ingenuity! Anima Eterna Brugge got famous because of their historically informed practice and their critical study of the score and the positioning of the musicians. This time they bring you their vision on what the exhilarating 7th Symphony of Beethoven should sound like. The orchestra is conducted by Jakob Lehmann, who steps onto the dais for the first time.

Jos van Immerseel and Anima Eterna Brugge zoom in on what many consider to be the cornerstone and showpiece of Beethoven’s orchestral oeuvre: his masterly Ninth. Completed in 1824, and blessed with even more monumental dimensions than its predecessors, this consummately crafted cathedral voices the birth of triumph from upheaval and the journey of the soul from introspection to jubilation. Its legendarily tough score is brimming with technical challenges. With the help of Collegium Vocale Gent, soloists Yeree Suh, Isabelle Rejall, Markus Schäfer, Thomas Bauer and conductor Korneel Bernolet this work easily surpasses all boundaries in the magical setting of Concertgebouw Brugge.

“You do hear better if you put your head under this machine, don’t you?,” André Stein asked Beethoven, referring to the Gehörmaschine he had built in 1820 to install on top of Beethoven’s Broadwood piano. Two centuries later, we can experience this machine ourselves and wonder: Do we hear Beethoven differently? This recording takes you inside the hearing machine; the multisensory playground of the deaf composer for whom the machine wasn't merely a hearing aid.

Challenging uptempo and atmospheric ballads in which contemporary aspects are added to the concept of tradition!

Revue Blanche turns the music world upside down according to the recipe of the famous Italian composer Luciano Berio!
