Review title: Not a good choice.
Product review: I got this Beethoven Symphony Cycle a few years ago but I barely listened to it, and I thought Bernstein was overrated for his conducting after my first listening to this cycle. The orchestration was not well balanced between string and wind sections, which can be easily noticed in the 6th Symphony particularly in the 4th and 5th movements, as well as in the 3rd and 9th Symphonies. The sound quality is also not good enough since it's a live recording. The overall performance of this cycle shows that the Wiener Philharmoniker acted as a third class orchestra and was not well trained under Bernstein, much worse than with Karl Bohm and Herbert von Karajan. Bernstein may be good at conducting Gershwin, Copland, and probably Mozart however, in my opinion, he was not the right person to conduct Beethoven.
