5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding. How come nobody told me., May 17, 2003

By	Dr. Richard D. Feinman (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an outstanding recording muscially and in terms of sound. How come nobody told me about Zinman. There are so many good recordings of these pieces it's hard to believe one could make a big impression on me. I'm surprised that anybody (other reviewer on the site) didn't like it. It is faster than usual and some novelties due to new Baerenreiter edition but all eye opening. These days probably nobody owns only one recording of Beethoven symphonies so it's a must and it might be my choice if you're having only one.
