| 1116.1 | It's also review in Stereo Review this month | AMUSE::QUIMBY | | Tue Mar 15 1988 08:53 | 16 |
| I have it, and think it is outstanding (I've already written a reply
somewhere in the conference).
What is unique is the attention to Beethoven's originally-intended
tempi, as opposed to those that have become "traditional" over time.
It does NOT sound like an academic exercise. It works very well
as a performance.
I am certain that this will become one of the definitive performances,
along with Toscanini, Furtwangler, etc.
Sound is fine.

| 1116.2 | One of the best | ULTRA::SIMON | How can we know the dancer from the dance? | Tue Mar 15 1988 10:26 | 4 |
| I agree. Along with Furtwangler's and Szell's, both rather old
recordings, this is my favorite.

| 1116.3 | I'm convinced! | STAR::BIGELOW | Bruce Bigelow, DECnet-VAX | Thu Mar 17 1988 17:02 | 18 |
| Thanks for the help - now that I've heard it a totally agree. I
never expected to like the 9th on period instruments with the smaller
orchestra of the time. I expected that the 9th would lose most
of it's power. But it doesn't at all. There's a tonal clarity
that I've never heard in the 9th before - now I think every other
recording of the 9th I've ever heard sounds muddy! And with the
smaller orchestra comes a different layout of the instruments, which
makes it much easier to hear the melodic phrases being passed around
the orchestra. In hindsight, the only other place I've heard this
is in the Hogwood/AAM versions of Beethoven's 1st and 2nd.
In short, I'm impressed and I'm gonna buy it! Telarc/Dohnanyi,
goodbye! Denon/Suitner, so long!
Thanks again for the help.
