More Information:

Despite the storm unleashed at its midpoint, Beethoven’s "Pastoral" Symphony creates a warm and relaxed mood, unlike most of his other high-drama symphonies. The Vienna Philharmonic, founded not long after Beethoven’s death, then follows the road of history, to Wagner’s passionate ecstasy and Schoenberg’s blend of total abandon and total control.
