Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Leonard Bernstein was always one to rise to an occasion, and this performance is no exception. Nowadays, when Beethoven Ninths are a dime a dozen, it's hard to recapture the sense of excitement that greeted Bernstein's Deutsche Grammophon Beethoven cycle when it was first released. In some ways, it marked the end of Bernstein's career as an American phenomenon, and the beginning of his reputation as a "grand old man" of classical music. Well, this performance doesn't sound old, but it certainly is grand. --David Hurwitz

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Great performance.....but lousy early digital sound
I agree with the comments made re: the excellence of the performance, but be forewarned that the recording is all too typical of DGs recording problems of the era.

specifically, there is digital glare on the strings. Lots of it. Perhaps it was cleared up in subsequent remastered versions (ie, the re-release of the complete cycle) I don't know. but if you're playing this on a good system, you'll hear a lot of scratchiness in the strings.

Otherwise, it IS a great performance!

Rating:

- It's ALIVE!!!!
I am no music expert, but the kind of passion that Bernstein draws here from the Vienna PO and from his singers, in particular Gwyneth Jones, does not depend on expertise for recognition. In addition, the recording is very good.

If I were to recommend one of the versions I know of this work to a classical music neophyte, this is the one I would choose.

Rating:

- Bernstein's best Beethoven
I always held Bernstein as the best conductor of american composers (his recordings of music by Aaron Copland is better than Copland's recordings). However, his Beethoven used to lack intensity and 'pathos'. But this ninth is different. The performance is excellent - and we can feel the spontaneity of the 'live recording' effect. The Vienna Philarmonic sound is completely sumptuous and overwhelming, especially at the climax of the last movement. This is the Best Beethoven recording ever made by Bernstein. His recording with the NYP is not as intense.
