Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67
Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67: I. Allegro con brio – London Symphony Orchestra & Josef Krips
Beethoven: The Complete Symphony Collection – London Symphony Orchestra & Josef Krips
This recording is reasonably faithful to the professional but not fully polished sound of the London Symphony Orchestra, presenting the way it sounded before its rise to world-class status; the orchestra is quite smooth in a fairly reverberant acoustic that provides a pleasant aural effect. These recordings of the symphonies are solidly played and consistently clear in reproduction, and first-time listeners seeking a bargain could hardly do better than to try this set.
