Review title: Excellent
Product review: Though a period instrument performance, this reading of Beethoven's monumental 9th Symphony is intense as any modern instrumental reading. Gardiner literally flies through the score in one of the best recordings available. His reading of the 2nd movement (Scherzo) is fast, furious, and dangerous, while the 3rd overflows with hymn-like devotion. Enclosing these two movements is Gardiner's unique interpretation of both the first and last movements, and he is in terrifying form. His tempi are the swiftest of any professional recording, and the acoustics of the performance location are incredible (Richard Hickox recorded no less a work than Verdi's Requiem in the same location). An excellent bargain, Gardiner's reading is essential for anyone: collector or otherwise.
