In Reply to: RE: Beethoven Symphony #9 recommendations? posted by Tracy on May 16, 2017 at 19:23:40
Just as a quick aside remark on #9 - my first intro to it-and what made me find a copy, was watching the movie Help(Beatles) where everyone broke into singing "Ode to Joy"!!!
Anyway- I have an old shaded dog RCA in the white cover #9 by Reiner, which I like. I also have the DG release via van Karajan on DGG(60's set), and I don't like it as it has less Choral.
I also listened to the old MFSL version by Solti- and thoroughly enjoy this version. It is supposedly the same release on DECCA re-issued by Speakers Corner(which I did purchase).
The Solti release seems better tempo and livelier Choral.

+1 on that Reiner....I have the same white cover 2 disc set....with #1 and 9. That version ticks all of the boxes....performance, sound quality, pace and great vocals.

I think Solti is best with specific composers and Beethoven is one of them. I also like his Brahms First, the one with CSO, performed in Medinah Temple in Chicago.
Opus 33 1/3
