4.&nbsp;<a name="A7"></a>Using the Freetext Search Box
- clicking into the box Simply click into this box with your mouse and it will immediately become empty of text in anticipation of your search request. - several search words You can put in several search words - simply make a space between the words.&nbsp; e.g. &ldquo;karajan mozart symphonies" finds only Mozart Symphonies conducted by Karajan - a search that also&nbsp;excludes&nbsp;some information Placing a minus-sign (-) before one word will exclude that word from the search: e.g. &ldquo;Karajan symphonies -mozart" finds all Karajan-conducted Symphonies except those by Mozart - using the album number&nbsp; If you are looking up information on an album of which you have some details, then use the identification number to find it best.&nbsp; On&nbsp;older CDs&nbsp;the number is 7 digits long shown usually in the form &ldquo;415 253-2". You can however type the number in anyway - &ldquo;415 253-2", &ldquo;4152532", &ldquo;415 2532" - all versions will work. Recently we have started using&nbsp;twelve digits, whereby the first five digits (usually 00289 for CDs and 00440 for DVDs) are not currently recognised by our web catalogue.&nbsp;Please leave these numbers out. Sometimes&nbsp;local versions&nbsp;of our international releases are manufactured and these have different numbers - except the number written in the barcode which reflects the international number. This number has 12 digits. Ignore the first four digits and the last digit and you have a seven digit number that our web catalogue will recognise. Sorry for this!

Title

Hermann Scherchen – Complete Beethoven Symphonies

Originally recorded between 1951-1954 for the Westminster label, nothing in this mono set sounds of its time &ndash; neither Hermann Scherchen&rsquo;s captivating, almost contemporary approach to Beethoven, nor the sound quality suggest a purely historic reissue. Many of these recordings are issued for the first time digitally and on CD, remastered from the original sources.&nbsp; The re-issue also includes overtures and a rehearsal of &lsquo;Wellington&rsquo;s Victory&rsquo; as well as the original covers, new liner notes and rare photos of the maestro. In addition to the mono recording the CD boxed set also includes the already re-issued additional stereo recording of the Eroica symphony from 1958, described by Germany&rsquo;s DIE ZEIT as &ldquo;probably the most exciting Beethoven recording ever made&rdquo;.
As Scherchen&rsquo;s producer at Westminster, Kurt List, pointed out: &ldquo;With Scherchen the result is never boring, nor does it leave you indifferent.&rdquo; Scherchen&rsquo;s interpretation is still breathtaking, demonstrating his personal principle: "Music does not have to be understood. It has to be listened to."
This boxed set is also <a href="https://store.deutschegrammophon.com/p51-i0028948381630/hermann-scherchen/beethoven-sinfonien-1-9-ouvertueren/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">available in the DG STORE</a>
