Moments Worth Listening For
The dramatic, fate-knocking-at-the-door motif in the opening movement of Symphony No. 5, delivered with a powerful, resonant orchestral attack.
The serene, flowing melodies of the 'Scene by the Brook' in Symphony No. 6, where the 1980s recording clarity allows individual woodwind voices to shine.
The exhilarating, almost dance-like energy of the final movement of Symphony No. 7, building to a joyous, propulsive climax.
The majestic, world-renowned 'Ode to Joy' choral finale of Symphony No. 9, with the massed choir and soloists soaring over the full orchestra, recorded with impressive spatial depth.
