Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential recording:
Long regarded as the quintessential interpretation of the most popular and best-loved symphony ever written, this performance of the Fifth has everything: passion, precision, drama, lyric beauty, and a coiled fury in the first movement that sets your pulse racing from the very first note. Carlos Kleiber has made very few recordings in his distinguished career, but almost all are special. If you own no other copy of this symphony, this is the one to get. It comes with an exceptional performance of the Seventh--not quite as gripping as the Fifth, but definitely one of the great ones. There is classical music, and there are classic recordings of classical music. This one's a classic. -- David Hurwitz

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Earns the Title of "Best" Recordings -- And a Couple Others
Without question, you can call these masterpiece recordings the greatest performances of Beethoven's 5th and 7th. I have listened to many versions and these are good ones. The 5th is particularly astonishing. The momentum and power of the first movement is incredible.

However, my slight preference for the Beethoven's 7th is: Hornoncourt and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe Beethoven Symphonies. Compare the two. The winds and overall structure are excellent.

Also, an equally ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - If you can own only one recording of Beethoven's 5th /7th , this is it!
Not much to add to the many excellent reviews here. Carlos Kleiber sets the standard for Beethoven's 5th and 7th.
What a bargain!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A reappraisal of 'great' performances; a reaction against hyperbole.
If you're looking at this record, you will probably be convinced by the weight of reviews that this is THE performance of these two symphonies to own. This review, then, is likely to become insignificant in the scheme of things - maybe thats for the best.

Ohhhh! I was so excited about finaly being able to hear, ney experience, the greatest performances of two of my favourite works. I didn't find the difinitive preformances here. Please, you must understand, music opperates on such a personal ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Definitive Fifth, Great Seventh
The Fifth is very, very polished and sounds just like it should. What more could you say about a recording of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony? I mean, it's the Fifth Symphony! Next I'll review the Mona Lisa... I can say that this Fifth seems "faster" than some versions, but at the same time it feels like it has the exact right tempo. It is my favorite recording of the Fifth and probably my favorite recording of any of Beethoven's symphonies. The recording of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony is great as well, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very enjoyable music
The Vienna Symphony delivers these famous Beethoven Symphonies with great skill and feeling. Very enjoyable.
