The best recording in my opinion. Sounds great whether you play it as two channel or multi channel. This is true for all the RCA Living stereo series.

This review is from: Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 6 "Pastoral" [Hybrid SACD] (Audio CD)

Good transfer from analog tape to SACD: for the first time is possible to listen all the "breath" of this original recording. I love Beethoven's Karajan and I find this Pastorale a bit "confused", in comparison. The 5th is very good, instead. I am giving 4 stars more for technical results than for artistical results.
