A good beginner's choice August 4, 2000
12 out of 16 found this review helpful
6 compact discs with all 9 symphonies from the greatest composer of them all, Ludwig Van Beethoven. Not presented in order, but don't let that dissuade you from this exceptional value offering from EMI. The recordings are all in DDD format, that means digitally recorded, digitally mixed, and presented in a digital format. Being 100% digital, there is no loss of quality from when the first violinist struck the first dominant 7th chord through to the final notes of the Choral Symphony. However, the recordings are old, some dating from the mid 1980's, and all now over 10 years old. You won't find a fresh interpretation in this collection. Ricardo Mutti's interpretation of the 9 symphonies with the added bonus extras are adequate, and the versions used in this collection may suprise some experienced Beethoven symphonic listeners. All 6 CDs fit nicely into a box which is no larger than a double CD case, and will therefore fit nicely in a half decent CD filing system. A good value CD set, but old recordings. Nevertheless, if you're looking for excellent value, this makes a fairly decent stocking filler.
