Title: My Favorite Fifth
Review: Maybe I am a little biased with this Reiner recording. Maybe. A long time ago I bought this on vinyl because the cover had a great thunderstorm picture. I already liked Beethoven, and this was my favorite symphony. The power of the fifth in this record and the inspiring lightning on the cover really inspired me. I also have the fifth with Carlos Kleiber, but it does not give me the same explosive energy. I think I preffer the tempos (especially the last two movements) in this with the Chicago symphony than those of the Kleiber recording. The other recording I have of the fifth is with Karajan, but I like it even less... I want to try the Fifth with Klemperer next.
