  • marvelous Sir Karajan the best played adagios for ever

  • Guilini by a country mile. The best recording I have listened to repeatedly recently is played by the LSO under Haitink better than all of these. Haitink always conducts the music as it was written. Guiliuni is also a wonderful musician as was Karajan.

  • Frankly these are all three excellent recordings. I'd order them Abbado-Giulini-Karajan, but by the smallest of margins.

    This said, I agree with podaleiros that Furtwangler with Vienna 1944 remains the reference recording

  • Yes, we would all be very intense as bombs were falling on us. Agreed on Furtwaengler. Operas recorded in Germany in the period have that same feeling.

  • I think that the Karajan/Berlin Phil recording is the most passionate. Not all music needs to be passionate, but I'd venture to say that it is incredibly important when performing the music of Beethoven. I enjoyed all three recordings, but for me, Karajan made me feel Beethoven.

  • 3 great performances

    Only Idiots of sounds or some snob of classical music do not understand the feeling of those three great conductors!

    They are marvelous and powerfull. those who are too critic about classical music kill the accebility! they are shame!

  • I have listened to other recordings of this symphony, and Karajan still beats them all in my opinion. To me, you can feel the emotions Beethoven felt while writing this piece when listening to Karajan's recordings.

  • fantastic and the 3. I cannot choose.

  • Beautiful job! Could've used some more dynamic contrast, but then, I always say that.

  • i think how karajan uses a connected staccato while tension increases nd he makes all of the intstuments hear also how he is loud
