Review title: Excellent Pollini
Product review: I'll admit I bought this CD for the Fantasy in C minor. I have the complete cycle of Beethoven's piano concertos performed by Pollini and the VPO, and was eager to get his performance of the Choral Fantasy. I have not been dissapointed. The tone is crystal clear (from both the orchestra and the piano), and the balance between the three distinct sections, choir/soloists, Pollini, and the orchestra, are superb throughout. I really like this performance. It, along with Brendel/CSO and Levin/ORR are my favorite recordings of Beethoven's most undervalued work.For the first work, "Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage," I'd recommend the John Eliot Gardiner/ORR version. For the sixth symphony, I'd again recommend Gardiner and the ORR, though this performance is very good, too.Great CD!
