Beethoven: Symphonies Nos 1 & 3 is the first in its series of releases of Beethoven’s complete symphonies by The National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gianandrea Noseda. It was recorded live on January 13, 15 and 16, 2022 and Beethoven Symphony No. 3 was recorded live on January 27, 28 and 29, 2022 at the concert Hall of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts by the Soundmirror team of Producer Blanton Alspaugh and Recording and Mastering Engineer Mark Donahue. This is a DSD Exclusive, Not Available on SACD release. The energy with which the 22-year-old Beethoven threw himself into Viennese music life was truly astounding. With his First Symphony, Beethoven clearly took over where Haydn and Mozart had left off, yet he spoke the inherited language of his elders in such an individual way that no contemporary could fail to notice the arrival of a major new voice on the musical scene. Beethoven’s Third Symphony represents a quantum leap within the composer’s oeuvre as it does in the history of music in general. The sheer size of the work—almost twice the length of the average 18th-century symphony—was a novelty, to say nothing of what amounted to a true revolution in musical technique and, even more importantly, in musical expression.

Reviews

AllMusic

James Manheim

This live release is the first in a digital series, eventually to culminate in a physical box set, including all nine of Beethoven's symphonies.

Conductor Gianandrea Noseda does not exactly break new ground with these interpretations, but they are vigorous works with a consistent perspective, well executed by the National Symphony Orchestra. Noseda emphasizes the brashness of the young Beethoven in both the Symphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 21, and Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, Op. 55 ("Eroica").

His tempos are brisk, and he observes the Allegro molto e vivace label on the Menuetto of the Symphony No. 1 where many conductors opt for a more graceful Mozartian quality.

Surrounding the funeral march of the Symphony No. 3 with urgent, fast playing emphasizes its somber quality, and here, Noseda does not rush.

The album is nicely recorded by the engineers from the National Symphony's own new label, and though applause is not retained, one imagines there was quite a bit (if it was allowed).

One awaits the rest of Noseda's series with interest.
