Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 4 & 6 'Pastorale'»rank: 41965from: Sony
0ur opinion: :Bruno Walter was always a most persuasive advocate of the gentler Beethoven--at least, that's what everyone thought until his stereo Beethoven cycle was remastered onto CD, revealing a much stronger musical profile than had been suspected. But that just made the cycle's best performances sound better still--and here they are, together on one midpriced CD! lt's amazing that a man in his 8Os, as Walter was when these performances were recorded, could take what was essentially a pickup orchestra and turn in performances of such ...

Beethoven: The Piano Concertos»rank: 15271from: Decca
0ur opinion: :Each of these performances has its own profile. The orchestra plays incisively in the First Concerto, but Ashkenazy's plush lyricism doesn't make a good match either with the orchestra or with the music, and he makes one weird ritard in the first movement. The Second Concerto is uneventful, rather bland and pleasant. The Third Concerto seems to be the best performance of the lot, with dramatic playing by soloist and orchestra, but it's sabotaged by blurry recorded sound, the only serious problem with sound quality ...
