Dallas So:Jaap Van Zweden - Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 5 And 7

The Fifth was a fleet, adrenaline-fueled romp that never seemed to race. Matt Erikson, Fort Worth Star - TelegramThe Seventh Symphony was driven to an almost hysterical, but in fact perfectly controlled, close. Scott Cantrell, The Dallas Morning NewsThis is the first recording made by Jaap van Zweden with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, captured live at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center during a two-week Beethoven Festival in November 2007, one year before Maestro van Zweden assumed the role as the DSO's Music Director. These recordings capture the energy and rapport that have come to define van Zweden's five-year tenure with the DSO.
