| Description: | Beethovens 7. Sinfonie, eine veritable »Apotheose des Tanzes« (Richard Wagner), hat seit ihrer Uraufführung nie an Beliebtheit eingebü�t, ganz im Gegensatz zu seinem einzigen Ballett »Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus«, von dem nur noch die Ouvertüre einigerma�en vertraut ist. Eine neue Lesart eines Schlüsselwerks von Beethoven zu präsentieren sowie eines seiner sehr Unrecht vergessenen Werke in Gänze wieder aufleben zu lassen: Diese Herausforderung meistern die Mitglieder des Freiburger Barockorchesters unter der Leitung ihres Konzertmeisters Gottfried von der Goltz mit Bravour. - .. NO.7/GESCHOPFE DES PROMETHEUSThis CD presents an inspired interpretation of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 and selections from "The Creatures of Prometheus," performed by the renowned Freiburger Barockorchester under the direction of Gottfried von der Goltz. Recorded on period instruments, the ensemble illuminates the rhythmic drive, transparency, and dramatic contrasts of Beethoven's orchestral writing with exceptional clarity. The Seventh Symphony unfolds with pulsating energy and noble lyricism, from the noble introduction of the first movement to the ecstatic momentum of the finale. "The Creatures of Prometheus" adds a theatrical and vivid dimension, highlighting Beethoven's early ballet music with its elegant dances, sharp characterisation, and striking orchestral colours. Together, these works offer a compelling portrait of Beethoven at the height of his inventive powers, brought to life in a historically informed reading that feels both authentic and strikingly fresh.
The Freiburger Barockorchester is one of the world's leading period-instrument ensembles, celebrated for its vitality, stylistic precision, and imaginative programming. Founded in the late 20th century, the orchestra has built a stellar international reputation through concert tours and award-winning recordings of Baroque, Classical, and early Romantic repertoire. Under the artistic leadership of Gottfried von der Goltz, a distinguished violinist and conductor, the ensemble combines scholarly insight with expressive spontaneity, earning praise for its Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach interpretations. Their work has been honoured with numerous prestigious distinctions from the international music press, and they are frequent guests at major festivals and concert halls worldwide.
