On 25 February 1997 professor Tony Movshon wrote a glowing review of the
EMI Beethoven symphony set recorded in 1957-1960 by the Berlin
Philharmonic conducted by Andr|- Cluytens (*):
"I cannot praise this set highly enough. ... This is the work of a
master musician."
Today I listened to #6, the Pastoral symphony, again.
And again I conclude: yes, this is _extremely_ beautiful music.
In the next few hours, I want to keep hearing this in my head and will
not listen to any other music!
The interpretation seems middle-of-the-road and natural, and yet I find
it overwhelming.
The grandeur has a delicate quality.
The sound is excellent on my Tivoli 'Music System+'.
And the orchestra sounds great.
