Editorial Review: By general consensus, Herbert von Karajan's first (1963) Beethoven cyclefor Deutsche Grammophon is the best of the four (!) that he recorded. The BerlinPhilharmonic was in top form, and they had not yet made an artistic fetish outof the bland smoothness that typified the conductor's later recordings of thismusic (and just about everything else). |

Editorial Review: Claudio Arrau played with seriousness of purpose that could make other pianists seem like dilettantes and with respect for the composer's score that bordered on veneration. He had nothing but scorn for pianists who played the opening of Beethoven's Opus 111 with two hands instead of one because there were fewer risks. |
