 Beethoven’s Symphony No.7 has enjoyed perennial popularity ever since its premier - unlike his sole ballet, The Creatures of Prometheus, of which only the overture has remained (more or less) familiar to us.
 To offer a new version of a keywork in Beethoven’s corpus while reviving the complete version of one of his most unjustly forgotten masterpieces: such is the challenge brilliantly taken up by the musicians of the Freiburger Barockorchester, under the direction of their Konzertmeister, Gottfried von der Goltz.
