Beethoven - The Symphonies / Augér, Robbin, Rolfe Johnson, Reinhart, AAM, Hogwood»rank: 26998by: The Academy of Ancient Music, Arleen Auger, Anthony Rolfe Johnson, Gregory Reinhart, Catherine Robbin
0ur opinion: :Stylistically, Hogwood is on firm ground, and there is much to be said for his insights into the music.

His Eroica and Pastorale are outstanding, and his Ninth most impressive. The symphonies were recorded in the order of their composition, and the sound is consistently good throughout. --Ted Libbey

Renée Fleming sings the title role beautifully, although some might argue that her voice is too ripe ...
