Pathetique with a difference!

"Giulini's unique account of Pathetique Symphony will stand alone apart from mainstream recordings, just like his equally original rendition of Mahler 9th (DG).



Giulini puts more emphasis on elegiac and comtemplative aspect of the music rather than dramatic representation of passion and despair. Yet, that does not mean it lacks fire and energy in climaxes.



I listen to this Pathetique once in awhile when I feel tired of all-consuming fire type of interpretations."

"The cover of this record is worthwhile. Carlo Maria Giuilini performs with Los Angeles Philharmonic for Deutsche Grammophon. The performance has the right pace and elegance. This recording cannot be better as far as I am concerned. I cannot think of one thing that would be changed. I have owned this version for years now."
