In Reply to: "Reveal" and "Revelatory" have the same root don't they?:-)... posted by SE on December 9, 2006 at 05:54:43:
I was a huge fan of the Haitink/Concertgebouw recordings from the 70's on Philips (but not much since then). His Beethoven sets with the LPO and Concertgebouw were nothing special, however. But, as I mentioned already, this new cycle finds him completely revitalized and much more energetic than I would have ever imagined. Having heard a couple of his awful LSO Live Brahms CDs, I had written off this new Beethoven set from the same source. Then I started noticing more and more positive things being written about them, and so decided to try one--I was not only pleasantly surprised, but really shocked at how vital these performances are. Try the discs of 7 and 9, and I think you'll see what I mean. (The others I've heard--2, 3, and 6--are also good, but they don't quite achieve that extra intensity that I hear in 7 and 9.) The disc of 1 & 5 has been reviewed highly as well, but the SACD isn't out yet (except in the box set).Russell
