Beethoven/ London Philharmonic Orchestra - Symphony No. 6 - Egmont Overture

Former Principal Conductor and Music Director of the London Philharmonic Klaus Tennstedt leads the Orchestra in these live concert performances of Beethoven's 'Pastoral' Symphony No. 6 and his Overture to Egmont, recorded in 1991 and 1992 at Royal Festival Hall, London. Mr. Tennstedt's tenure with the LPO was characterized by his specialism in German repertoire, and the energy and emotional involvement that endeared him with musicians and audiences alike. On the BBC at the time, Mr. Tennstedt stated, 'I think no orchestra in the world can now better play than the London Philharmonic.'
