This review is from: Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 in C Minor (Op. 67) / Schubert: Symphony No. 8 in B Minor "Unfinished" Great Performances series) (Audio CD)

I purchased this CD in 1990, and both my children grew up listening to it on road trips, often yelling with the windows open and at full blast. This capture of the 1963 NY Philharmonic, and the incomparable Bernstein, is flat-out my favorite piece of music. The CD started skipping three minutes into the first movement about five years ago; I polished the disc with toothpaste, hoping for lengthened life. It lasted until this past Summer. I can't stand fast-forwarding past the skip anymore, so between Google and Amazon, I will have a new copy of this wonderful work.
