Synopsis

Amazon.com

Dreadful. Yehudi Menuhin's career as a conductor has had its ups and downs, and this set is definitely a "down." These performances are completely lacking in character, indifferently played, and very poorly recorded from live concerts. What possibly motivated this label to release them is anyone's guess. Presumably Menuhin's fans in the U.K. will enjoy them, but for the rest of us, this set is a nonstarter. --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

A "PLAYER'S" BEETHOVEN

04/19/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Just take a look in the current Penguin Guide: this set of symphonies is recommended with 3 stars (their highest rating) alongside a penetratingly positive analysis. That's more than enough testament for such a rhythmically adept and exciting "player's" approach to the greatest symphonies ever written. While one would still want the Kleiber 5 & 7 (and there's nothing like the off-the-wall thrills (pun intended) of Bernstein's final Berlin 9th), Menuhin has created a Beethoven symphony series of truth and humanity -- he knows The Master in mind AND body. And the price is nice, too!"
