The Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century is one of the most prominent period instrument orchestras in the world. The musicians play internationally in leading (chamber) music ensembles and meet several times a year for performances of iconic and lesser-known repertoire. In the early 1980s, under the direction of legendary conductor and early music specialist Frans Bruggen, the orchestra achieved world fame by performing major symphonic works on original instruments and in a historically informed manner. In 2011, the orchestra performed all of Beethoven's symphonies in concert. These concerts were released on CD as live recordings on the Glossa label and met with great enthusiasm. Beethoven's '6th Symphony 'Pastorale'' from these legendary recordings is on LP.
