Title: Beethoven: The 9 Incomplete Symphonies...
Review: I purchased the Szell-directed Beethoven Nine Symphonies because I had listened to them while in college years ago. At that time, they were recorded on 33.3 long-playing vinyl and over the years, deteriorated. Being very familiar with the nine symphonies, and being especially fond of the Szell-directed Cleveland Orchestra, I purchased the box set as described in the title. I was dismayed that during the ends of several movements, the recording suddenly shifted to the next without finishing the previous, thereby truncating my enjoyment of some of the most dramatic music ever composed and performed. I would not recommed this box set to anyone who would like to hear the complete nine symphonies, but gave it two stars because at this stage of my life, something is better than nothing.
