Schubert, F.

Description:

This is the complete Beethoven symphonies recorded in 1962-63, Karajan's second recording with the Berlin Philharmonic and his first with the orchestra. All of the pieces are presented in a crisp and tight manner with a fast tempo, and there is no unevenness in performance from piece to piece. This is a valuable set that is comparable to the later complete works.
