To celebrate its 120th anniversary, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra is giving away a symphony every day. Yes, please. Here's the selection:
Franz Schubert - Symphony no. 8 'Unfinished' Ludwig van Beethoven - Symphony no. 2 Felix Mendelssohn - Symphony no. 4 'Italian' C?©sar Franck - Symphony in D minor Gustav Mahler - Symphony no. 1 Anton??n Dvo?ô?°k - Symphony no. 8 Camille Saint-Sa?´ns - Symphony no. 3 'Organ' Jean Sibelius - Symphony no. 2 Anton Bruckner - Symphony no. 8 Johannes Brahms - Symphony no. 2
What a nice surprise. Since you asked my opinion, I'd download the Schubert, the Dvo?ô?°k, and definitely grab the Sibelius---one of my favorites, period. Mahler, Bruckner, and Saint-Sa?´ns would be next if I had to choose. And if you get 6, you might as well get the rest... [via classical convert]
