Beethoven Symphony No 4 Prometheus Overture Kondrashin Moscow Philharmonic 12" Vinyl

A bold Soviet-era interpretation of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major, Op. 60, paired with the Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus, Op. 43, performed by the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra under Kiril Kondrashin.

This 12" vinyl (single LP) presents two contrasting sides of Beethoven’s orchestral writing: the Symphony No. 4, often described as one of his most elegant and light-hearted symphonies, and the Prometheus Overture, a work filled with dramatic energy and classical drive.

Kondrashin’s conducting brings a strong structural focus and rhythmic precision, while the Moscow Philharmonic delivers a firm, direct orchestral sound characteristic of Soviet-era recordings—lean, powerful, and highly articulated. The result is a performance that emphasizes clarity and momentum over romantic softness.

A distinctive classical vinyl edition for collectors interested in historically important Eastern European interpretations of Beethoven’s orchestral works.
