The Berlin Philharmonic was in top form, and they had not yet made an artistic fetish out of the bland smoothness that typified the conductor's later recordings of this music (and just about everything else). Karajan's squeaky clean, emotionally cool Beethoven will always be something of an acquired taste, but this set makes the best possible case for it. --David Hurwitz, CLASSICS TODAY\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_transparent_blue_background_correct_version_61b51729-71bb-43af-9967-79b27e53512c.png?v=1639076817\u0026amp;width=700\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN\u003cbr\u003eCD 1\u003cbr\u003eSymphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 21\u003cbr\u003eSymphony No. 3 in E flat major, Op. 55 ‘Eroica’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 2\u003cbr\u003eSymphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 36\u003cbr\u003eSymphony No. 4 in B flat major, Op. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 3\u003cbr\u003eSymphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67\u003cbr\u003eSymphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68 ‘Pastoral’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 4\u003cbr\u003eSymphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92\u003cbr\u003eSymphony No. 8 in F major, Op. 93\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCD 5\u003cbr\u003eSymphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 ‘Choral’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWalter Berry, baritone\u003cbr\u003eGundula Janowitz, soprano\u003cbr\u003eWaldemar Kmentt, tenor\u003cbr\u003eHilde Rossi-Majdan, mezzo-soprano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBerlin Philharmonic Orchestra\u003cbr\u003eHerbert von Karajan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deutsche Grammophon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68065409171535,"sku":"iqz1794051041431","price":28.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/7969\/8255\/files\/beethoven-the-nine-symphonies---karajan-berlin-philharmonic-1963-recordings---5-_1.jpg?v=1794051046","url":"https:\/\/modernvintageboutique.shop\/products\/beethoven-the-nine-symphonies-karajan-berlin-philharmonic-1963-recordings-5-cds","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
