Agree on the HvK 1963 cycle. The 3rd and 7th remain my favorites to this day.
Favorite Beethoven Symphony Recordings
OK, it’s one of Ludwigs anniversary years. There must be over 200 complete Symphony Cycles, with seemingly dozens this year alone. While most Classical listeners are bound to have several, we can’t possibly know them all. Make a list of favorites of each work, try not to repeat a Conductor if possible.

2) Krips/LSO
3) Furtwangler/Vienna PO (1944)
4) Szell/Cleveland

6) Walter/Columbia SO
7) Solti/Chicago (1970s cycle)
