“

The excellence of these two famous performances hasn't diminished a bit over time. George Szell's Beethoven Fifth exists in three versions: this one; another with the Cleveland Orchestra on Sony; and (finest of all) one with the Vienna Philharmonic live from the Salzburg Festival on Orfeo. Talk about an embarrassment of riches! It's really pointless to dwell on minute variations in interpretation or playing: all three recordings represent a surpassingly high level of achievement, from the taught opening and generously "con moto" Andante, right through the grim scherzo to the explosive finale. It's simply great Beethoven. Szell's Sibelius Second has stood as a reference edition of the score since the day the recording was made. Once again, there is a live rendition (with Cleveland made on tour in Tokyo) that arguably surpasses this one in some respects, but at present it's only available on a limited basis from Japanese Sony, and hearing this dazzling recording, with it's warmly glowing strings, perfectly judged first movement climax, jaggedly brilliant brass in the second movement, sizzling scherzo, and effortlessly grand finale, it's easy to forget all about any other performance you might have heard or currently own. Frankly, no other even approaches Szell's knockout combination of discipline and excitement, though some (such as Barbirolli's on Chesky or Bernstein's on Sony) offer a marginally greater sense of spontaneity, albeit with markedly less spectacular playing. Sonically, this remastering sounds exactly the same as the "Early Years" two-disc set containing all of Szell's Concertgebouw recordings for Philips (also available from Musical Heritage Society), which is to say it's noticeably better than the overly dry, "CEDAR-ized" first CD issue. In fact, the engineering on display here compares favorably with today's best. Classics in every sense of the word, these two performances deserve an honored place in even the most minuscule collection of music by either composer. --David Hurwitz
