The Ninth makes for a strong conclusion to the set, but it perhaps lacks the grandeur of more traditional performances. It's powerful, meticulously prepared, and deeply committed, but it doesn't belong in the mighty Klemperer-Karajan dynasty. That will be a plus point to some, and a minus point to others. The young-sounding soloists are excellent as a quartet, especially the soprano, but aren't ideal in their solo numbers: the tenor sounds breathless and lightweight at Zinman's pace, and the bass is hardly commanding enough at his entry to be credible as a silencer of the orchestra's din. The chorus is excellent.
By the way, Arte Nova gives you two versions of the Ninth's finale. The alternative includes a G.P. bar (General Pause) before the word "Bruder", which Beethoven later and mysteriously removed. Not a big deal, I'd say. Personally, I wish Beethoven had left revised versions of all nine symphonies, with answers to all the interpretative questions we've spent 180 years grappling with! (Only joking: what sort of a music-lover's world would it be where all Beethoven symphony recordings were the same?)–Peter J Lawson
