Title: Dark Horse
Review: If you like Beethoven as read by Klemperer, Barenboim, Carlos Kleiber and the incomparable Furtwangler, then you will very likely enjoy the late Cluytens' cycle. If you are looking for your first Beethoven cycle (all nine symphonies) then this is a highly recommended starting point. Personally, I began with Klemperer and the Philharmonic - and still feel this is one of the best cycles. If you want a sense of Furtwangler - rated by many (including me, obviously!) as the greatest modern conductor - then look out for his 5th and 7th with the VPO on EMI. The sound is quite adequate and the price compelling, whereas the more dramatic war time recordings suffer from atrocious sound quality (1940s wartime,after all). Cluytens is a solid even majestic cycle.
