Synopsis

Amazon.com
This disc is much better than the one containing the First and Sixth Symphonies. The performance of the Second Symphony has charm and ample energy, while the Fifth, if not the most powerful version in the catalog, generates a considerable amount of momentum. Beethoven for chamber orchestra does take a little getting used to, but at a budget price you may want to experiment to see how it strikes you. --David Hurwitz

Cheap? Only the price, not the music!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I've listened to countless versions of the 5th. Regardless of price, vintage or pedigree, I found this to be the best. You'll be pleasantly surprised when you make this purchase. You may not have heard of the orchestra or conductor, but don't be misled. If you want a great version of Beethoven's greatest work, buy this CD!"
