 Rating: - perfectthis is my favourite set of the beethoven symphonies..the sound is superb, and the playing has plenty of energy and feeling - quite a fast pace to other versions though Rating: - The LSO and Haitink bring Beethoven to lifeBeethoven's complete symphony cycles increase steadily through the years, from the early 1940's Furtwangler mono recordings, to the much cherished 1960's Karajan analogue stereo vinyl pressings, and now the digital versions on CD. What's best is a matter of choice depending on whether the importance lies in authenticity in terms of both period instruments and accuracy of playing to the accepted `correct' score (currently the Barenreiter/Jonathan Del Mar versions), or maybe just sheer excitement in listening experience is of priority.

Wherever you look on this set there are musical rewards to be found. As if that wasn't ... Read More: Rating: - Awe inspiringIf you want to know what it feels like to conduct a Beethoven symphony, buy this CD. The performances are outstanding. From the most energetic, ryhthmically driving passages to the most delicately subtle, the orchestra performs with breathtaking skill, all held together by a clearly brilliant conductor. The quality of the recording is also superb. There is clarity and warmth. Every instrument has a distinct position in space. You feel like you are standing in front of them getting your own personal performance of these wonderful pieces of music. The dynamics are wide and the textures are rich. A great way to appreciate the genius of LVB. |
