Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0028944740127 Label: Deutsche Grammophon Manufacturer: Deutsche Grammophon MPN: 447401 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Deutsche Grammophon Release Date: January 23, 1996 Studio: Deutsche Grammophon Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This performance is also available on Deutsche Grammophon in an earlier, mid-price incarnation, but this version is clearly the one to own, since the remastered sound is a definite improvement over previous issues. Herbert von Karajan always did a good job with this symphony, and his performances are quite consistent, even down to the very backward-balance of the chorus. By general consensus, though, this is the best of them. --David Hurwitz Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Criticism of von Karajan's 9thPreviously, a reviewer wrote: "Karajan in 1962 wanted to perform Beethoven in a modern way compared to the overtly spiritual, often very slow, heavy, and rubato-laden style of the past in Germany. ... in the last movement Karajan takes the vocal line faster... "By comparison, Karajan wasn't as hectically fast or intense as Toscanini,..." I don't wish to take anything away from Karajan's technical mastery, his orchestra's wonderful sound, or his "smoothness." ...

The sound engineers have one outstanding job done here, the recording is clear and vivid. The interpretation granted by Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra needs no coments, simply excelent. This record is one of my best purchases, and i recoment it. Rating:  - 9th SymphonyMy CD just arrived. The shipping was fast, I am happy with it. The recording quallity is very good. However, Karajan appears to lead the orchestra in a quite cold manner. It is very precise, too precise. The symphony does not sound lively, there is no emotion in it. Rating: - Beethoven: Symphony No 9, Berlin Philharmonic OrchestraThe Symphony No.9 of Beethoven is one of great works of classic music. The interpretation is excellent on the part of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Rating: - Beethoven's NinthKarajan is, of course, one of the premier symphony conductors of the last 50 years. He does not disappoint with this recording of what some consider the pinnacle of the world of symphonies. Every movement is masterful and inspiring. |
