Title: Very Good Beethoven From Sawallisch and Royal Concertgebouw
Review: Admittedly this two-CD set will not be a primary recommendation of Beethoven's 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th symphonies for those familiar with Karajan's best recordings, Kleiber's electrifying accounts of the 5th and 7th symphonies, Harnoncourt's, Zinman's or Abbado's latest with the Berlin Philharmonic. However, I doubt I have heard the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra play these Beethoven symphonies with such brilliance and warmth, than I have on these recordings, even better than their classic 1970's recordings with Bernard Haitink. The two best performances are those of the 4th and 6th symphonies, with the 6th among the best I have heard for traditional versions, ranking close to the likes of Bohm, Dohnanyi and Karajan, among others. The sound quality for these early 1990's digital recordings is superb.
