Title: --1 STAR FOR THE RE-MASTERING
Review: Although this is one of the best cycles out there, the remastering job DG did on it does more hurt than help (in my opinion).You get quite a bit of digital edginess throughout it, and a loss of the natural warmth and wonderful bloom from the original recordings.It's very difficult to prove this in a review but if you compare the original recordings to the re-mastered versions, you'll begin to see what I'm saying.Mind you, I love Karajan and his '63 Beethoven cycle (I give it 5 stars!), but I would say, stay with the original recordings in the gold and red box set...plus the packaging is so much more beautiful and is perfect for shelf display!
