The music, like the book, can be heard as a call to action to love and to save nature and the earth.\r\n\r\nThis release is the thirteenth in the highly acclaimed Pittsburgh Live! series of Stereo and 5 Channel Surround Sound DSD releases on the Fresh! imprint from Reference Recordings. This series has received Grammy Nominations in 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022. Their recording of Shostakovich’s Symphony No.5 \/Barber Adagio for Strings won the 2018 Grammy Awards for Best Orchestral Performance and Best Engineered Classical Album.\r\n\r\nThe album is \u003cstrong\u003eexclusively available in Stereo and 5 Channel DSD 128, DSD 256 and DXD plus Stereo DSD 512 at NativeDSD.Com. \u003c\/strong\u003eIt is also available in Stereo and 5 Channel DSD 64 at NativeDSD.\r\n\r\nAs was reported by noted Beethoven biographer Anton Schindler, the Sixth Symphony was composed in the Nussdorf and Grinzing suburbs of Vienna, between which the Schreiberbach River flows. As Beethoven himself said, \u003cem\u003e“Here I wrote the scene at the brook, and the yellowhammers up there, the quails, nightingales and cuckoos all around have also composed.”\u003c\/em\u003e It is interesting to consider that Symphony No. 6, “Pastoral,” which Beethoven also called “Erinnerung an das Landleben” (“Recollections of Country Life”), was written at the same time as the iconic Fifth Symphony. Beethoven even counted the Sixth as the Fifth Symphony for a long time and both were premiered together in the famous four-hour-long Academy concert on December 22, 1808 at the Theater an der Wien with Beethoven himself conducting. As a pair of sisters, the two symphonies form a crowning conclusion to a very fruitful period. And while the two works are opposites in many ways, they also complement each other beautifully.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003ePittsburgh Symphony Orchestra\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eManfred Honeck, Conductor \u0026amp; Music Director\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n ","brand":"Reference Recordings","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739602006340,"sku":"FR747-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739602039108,"sku":"FR747-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739602071876,"sku":"FR747-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739602104644,"sku":"FR747-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739602137412,"sku":"FR747-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739602170180,"sku":"FR747-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739602202948,"sku":"FR747-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739602235716,"sku":"FR747-18","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739602268484,"sku":"FR747-19","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739602301252,"sku":"FR747-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739602334020,"sku":"FR747-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739602366788,"sku":"FR747-23","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"MKV 48 kHz \/ 7.1.4ch Dolby Atmos","offer_id":56739602399556,"sku":"FR747-68","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57339119042884,"sku":"FR747-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57339119075652,"sku":"FR747S1417","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57339119108420,"sku":"FR747S1517","price":30.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57339119141188,"sku":"FR747S1617","price":34.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57339119173956,"sku":"FR747S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57339119206724,"sku":"FR747S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/FR747.jpg?v=1778487271","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/fr747-beethoven-symphony-no-6-stucky-silent-spring","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
