| This Capbox set updates the box set 4690002, which contains the cycle recorded in Berlin in 2000. This new set contains recordings of Symphonies 1 8 made in Rome in February 2001. No. 9 is a recording from Berlin made in May 2000 (the same recording that appeared in the old set). While retaining aspects of the look of the previous set, the new set has been completely redesigned in capbox format. It includes a new booklet article by Italian journalist Angelo Foletto, who interviewed Abbado about the reasons for releasing the new set of recordings. |
