"The eternal question with new Beethoven symphony cycles - is there room for another? When it's as good as this, absolutely. There's something of the art that conceals art about these performances. At first they can sound perhaps a touch generalised. But there are riches to be mined and they repay longer acquaintance. As with much of Immerseel's work, you are left with the words "life-affirming"."
(Gramophone)

Armed with their experience of period-instrument performances of a varied repertoire - Classical (Mozart, Haydn), Austro-German Romantic (Brahms, Johann, Strauss), Russian (Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin), and finally Ravel - the musicians of Anima Eterna come back to Beethoven with the perspective and mastery acquired as a symphony orchestra. This complete work is a "tour de force" of Jos van Immerseel musically and intellectually trough a true "manifesto" on his approach and his passion for Beethoven.
