For its uniqueness, this is perhaps the most heartfelt rendition of the great Choral Symphony. It was extended and altered to celebrate the reunification of East with West, not just in Berlin, Germany as a whole, but the whole of Europe. The text was altered from Ode to Joy to Ode to Freedom. LB has taken all but the second movement at a leisurely pace compared to many of his contemporaries' performances, but by bringing together instrumentalists from the world's greatest ensembles, the passion and the musical genius of Beethoven come across in every phrase. This is a live recording, so the odd cough is heard, but most notable is the late LB stamping his foot on the podium at the start of each movement, and also during many of the more frantic and energetic passages.
This is not the most perfect in terms of technicalities but for a real sense of joy - which is what it is all about, this version can not be bettered. This should be bought as an historic addition to anyone's record library.
