Thank you for this recording.

Truly amazing!

So free in the choice of tempi and rallentandi and yet so convincing as if this would be the only possible way of interpreting it.

through Beethoven's apparent handicap "hearing loss" came the brilliance of this music, just like a diamond is made thorough great pressure so the human character is refined through hardships, apparently our great creator knows this!! character is simply not attained except through this process!!! CHARACTER IS A VICTORY!

Stirring, intense and fully detailed. Extraordinary!

I must admit I prefer this interpretation best. Intense, powerful and thrilling. Great performance!

[cantkeepitin]

@nekonobasu Fully right. Also check for Carlos Kleiber, it is quite similar!!

If thrills were to be had, Mengelberg could always provide them. John Austin, Australia

[younglemeshevist]

To my taste this is a brilliant performance. Thank you for the video

[Kievest]

The man was a God!! He conducts Egmont with that rare combination of

refinement and brooding savagery

Beethoven requires. What a thrill ride!!

Bravo and Thank you for this legendary

posting.
