Symphony Recommendation

kleiber on dg for the 5th - this is easily the most exciting beethoven 5th recorded. don't let its age bother you, the performance will make up for any sonic deficiencies due to age.re dvorak's 9th, for sonics and performance, harnoncourt on teldec and fischer on phillips (on the latter you get an excellent 8th).

I wonder if the Harnoncourt/Teldec that is being recommended is the Teldec the poster sais he does not like?

excellent recommendations Otto...Celi and Furtie are my favs as well...I'll add Dvorak 9th with Newark Sym. Orch. with Macal conducting...excelletn performance!

that is New Jersey Sym. with Macaal conducting...not Newark...i was thinking about the city they play in...

sugarbrie, could be the masur w/nyp. wasn't my favorite. i guess if he has harnoncourt he can just ignor the recommendation. there are a lot of excellent dvorak 9ths out there but he was looking for sota sonic's...........
