Composer:
Ludwig van Beethoven

Conductor:
Pablo Casals

Background: The Barcelona sessions made with Casals's own orchestra, formed in 1919, were set down in a concentrated period of work over five days in early July 1929. They are notable for their unfussy and direct approach to Beethoven that reveals the music in honest, unvarnished and expressive terms.

In Brahms's Variations on the St Anthony Chorale, recorded just a few weeks before Casals's 51st birthday, the London Symphony Orchestra plays with beauty of sound, excellent ensemble and characterful wind solos. Casals's temperate direction stresses the lyrical and eloquent aspects of Brahms's writing.
