4Excellent Performances and Sound Quality
By J. Connors
As a life long fan of the Beethoven symphonies, I’ve purchased several sets (Leinsdorf, Karajan, Norrington, Sawallisch, Muti, Hogwood, Harnoncourt, Gardiner). This bargain-priced set by Josef Krips and the LSO is second to none. The performances are first rate and the sound is typical of the vinyl era when there was a mellow blending of strings with the rest of the orchestra. Highly recommended, especially for folks who are looking for a great set of the Beethoven symphonies to start a collection.

4Solid, if not overwhelming, performances at a great price!
By David L. Simmons
The best transfer of these “not great but not embarrassing” early ’60s performances of Beethoven’s 9 performed by the LSO and Josef Krips. The performances are better than I remember (maybe the cruddy sound in the transfers I listened to had something to do with it). Recommended because the price cannot be beat and it’s a cheap and honest way to become familiar with these great symphonies.

5Outstanding Beethoven
By HB
This set was recorded almost 50 years ago. Back in those days, making recordings was a special event for most orchestras. It has been my experience that recordings from the ’60′s tend to have a certain excitement about them missing from today’s recordings. Here we have a set with an outstanding conductor, a very fine orchestra and decent, if not great sound. The performances are mostly excellent, especially Nos. 3-9. This set was recorded by the Everest label on 35MM tape. The original LPs had great sound. This particular set is not based on the original tapes. If it were, the price would be much higher. So if you want to spend less than 10 bucks for all of the Beethoven symphonies this is you best bet. If you want better sound at this price, there are other options but they do not feature a first class orchestra and legendary conductor.
