A Good Beethoven Fifth Nov 25, 2010
By W. R. Caulk If you are looking for a solid but more more measured approach to Beethoven's 5th then this CD may be the one for you. The performance is ok, but in terms of what I look for most in this symphony: gripping, propulsive power, it lags significantly behind Reiner/Chicago on living stereo, Karajan/BPO '75 (or 63), or Carlos Kleiber/VPO. If you can tolerate decent mono sound then check out Furtwangler '43 on Tahra, or Klemperer '55 on EMI in great mono.
