In Reply to: Bruggen on Phillips. Hard to find. Amazing. posted by Sigmund on April 25, 2007 at 07:56:13:
his Mozart and Haydn was (and is) outstanding. His recordings of Mozart symphonies 36-41 are among the best even made. It's unfortunate that so mant of them are no longer in the catalogue.The trouble with his Beethoven set, however, is the uneveness. Symphonies 2, 3, 5, 8 and 9 come off very well, and are quite competitve with the other HIP versions. Symphonies 4 and 6 are well conceived and played--however, the recording quality in these two is markedly inferior to the rest. Symphony 1 suffers from a too-slow first movement, while No. 7 is curiously lacking in energy.
In all, I can't recommend Bruggen's set as the only one to own, but I would seek individual performances--provided they are still available.
