Beethoven: Symphony No. 9: Choral / Fidelio Overture

Beethoven: Symphony No. 9: Choral / Fidelio Overture (Essential Classics)

George Szell's Beethoven Ninth is not the sort of cosmic display that Wilhelm FurtwÃ¤ngler and other members of the German "Romantic" school made of it, but taken on its own terms it's a lean and mean performance full of power and drama. The Cleveland Orchestra plays with its customary expertise and Szell caps the performance with a smoking rendition of the finale--great choral singing, and an irresistible forward momentum. A great performance. --David Hurwitz
