Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe collaborated on their third Beethoven symphony cycle, marking the first recorded series following the Neue Beethoven Gesamtausgabe's text for Symphony No. 9, featuring a recently rediscovered contrabassoon part. Nézet-Séguin expressed his fascination with how Beethoven's music can still astonish us today, aiming for their interpretation to make audiences feel like they are experiencing this music for the very first time.
