Negative Positive
Title: Almost great
Review: The recorded sound is great as previously described. The tempos are a little slow for what I am used to, but the emotion is still there. The surround sound is not very informative. In comparison to Solti-Chicago, this falls slightly short. Of course, the recorded sound is better than that available with the older Solti recording. The Concertgebouw sounds slightly out of control at times, especially in the big finale. The Chicago brass triumph throughout with Solit, but the brass section here does not function as a cohesive unit. This is a very good recording, but I would rather listen to Solit-Chicago.
