In Reply to: Beethoven's 5th Symphony posted by Tadlo on May 11, 2007 at 13:25:29:
My favourites 5th, in disorder, are :
- Berliner Philharmoniker / Karajan 1962(DG), well known.
- Gewandhausorchester Leipzig / Franz Konwitschny (Berlin Classics), a smidgeon of chamber music atmosphere.
- Zurich Tonhalle / David Zinman (Arte Nova), an unespected achievement.I don't know why Franz Konwitschny is so ignored, while he was an awesome conductor both delicate and accurate. IMHO his recordings of the Beethoven symphonies cycle and Overtures with the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig are essential.
