Beethoven's pastoral symphony

Anima Eterna plays Beethoven's Sixth Symphony in a way in which you've likely never heard it before. Striving for a sound as authentic to the composer's era as possible, it's a smaller orchestra that plays on period instruments. The group's founder, Jos van Immerseel, leads them in concert at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
