Classical / Symphonies
This is one of the greatest recordings of the famous Ninth Symphony. It has long been overshadowed by Karajan's three recordings for the same label, as well as Bernstein's version with the same orchestra. But put them all on your CD player and compare, and this is the one you'll be coming back to. Böhm was the least glamorous of conductors, but he approaches the Ninth with messianic zeal and a fanatical gleam in his eye. The opening movement is a cataclysm, the sublime slow movement never loses its contemplative flow, and everyone involved simply sings and plays the pants off of the finale. If the final minute or two doesn't pull you right out of your seat, nothing will. Grab it while you can at this "twofer" price. It's a steal. –David Hurwitz
Bohm picks a moderate tempo for the 3rd Symphony, and this is typical Bohm performance: calculated, firm, and unsentimental. This 'Eroica' shares much of the grandeur found in Klemperer's version. However, ultimately Klemperer, with his marginally slower tempi but grittier execution, produces a more granitic and "heroic" sound that is more to my liking. While not the greatest, it is a very wonderful reading, and a fine example of 'Eroica' going (moderately) slow.
The features that make this Ninth classic are balance, poise, and intensity. I believe Bohm, here, has found the perfect balance between Classical grandeur and Romantic emotional sensitivity. The first mvmt. is slower than most versions, but the formidable sonority produced by Vienna Phil more than makes up for the lack of speed, and this is in fact the most intense 1st mvmt. I've heard. Incidentally, as Mr. Hurwitz has pointed out, the monstrous recapitulation in major key is superbly executed, with the trumpets resounding aggressively–almost terrifyingly so.
And I absolutely love how Bohm ignites the orchestra and chorus into white-hot intensity in the final Presto section and brings the whole piece to its highest emotional plateau. Again, allow me to compare Bohm to Klemperer. Similar to Bohm, Klemperer takes his time to brew up some impressive tension, but in the Presto he uses too much restrain, and as a result the joyous feeling doesn't soar quite like Bohm's.
Overall these are very emotionally complete versions of the 'Eroica' and Ninth, and prime examples of the "old-school", traditional Germanic approach to Beethoven.
