kleiber on dg for the 5th - this is easily the most exciting beethoven 5th recorded. don't let its age bother you, the performance will make up for any sonic deficiencies due to age.re dvorak's 9th, for sonics and performance, harnoncourt on teldec and fischer on phillips (on the latter you get an excellent 8th).
Symphony Recommendation
My favorite symphonies are Beethoven No. 5, No. 9, and Dvorak No. 9. Both of my CDs are Teldec label. I'm not very happy with the recordings. I would like to invite recommendationd for the best recordings of these three symphonies. Anybody tried XRCD remastered copies? Could you share your impression with us?
