Given how much one listener's tastes can change, I have to remind myself that when it came out on LP in the early Sixties, I really admired Dzell's Pastorale Sym. It was cut from the same mold as Toscanini's but seemed less intense and hectic (two qualities that haven't worn well in Toscanini's approach). Szell's reading hasn't changed--it's a model of disciplined ensemble, perfect balance, and impeccable taste--but I must have, becasue I keep missing the humor, warmth, and expressed joy in ...

Siguiendo con el ciclo de sinfonías de Beethoven dos maravillas, en interpretaciones soberbias, y ademas una obertura genial para completar el CD.
La sinfonia N° 1 es bella, muy alegre, muy juvenil, si bien comienza con un Adagio, la obra en general es juguetona, la primera sinfonia para demostrar lo que vendria.
La 6a sinfonia es casi un poema sinfonico, una epopeya de los campos y la vida en las bellas tierras europeas.
Tenemos bailes y danzas, temporales, apacible trabajo en ... Read More

There's no secret that George Szell has always been regarded as one of the finest Beethoven intreperters ever, and after listening to this classic recording, one fully understands why.

My favorite recording of the first symphony has always been an old one with Krips and the LSO, though that one lacks in sound ... Read More

George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra are perfect in this CD. Other reviews have discussed the history of the recordings in this series, so I'll skip that.
This performance of the two symphonies is perfect - certainly close enough to perfect for me! However, the recording has a couple of flaws. There is a slight click preceding the second movement of the First Symphony, and the first notes of the fourth movement in the First are truncated a fraction of a second. There are a couple of ...

the beethoven cycle recorded by george szell and the cleveland orchestra in the early 1960's is a miraculous and distinctive account of the symphonies and major orchestral overtures. it manages at the same time to be true to the spirit of beethoven yet immediately fresh and new when compared with almost any other performance available on disc.
szell raised the ensemble and technical control of the cleveland orchestra to an astonishing level, which allowed him many hair raising plunges through ... Read More
