I've never heard the transition from the 4/4 intro to what Wagner called 'the apotheosis of the dance' played so effortlessly. The Vienna players bring nothing but distinction to their solos - listen to the flute at the 6/8 opening (Wolfgang Schultz from the glorious tone). And I'm not sure much I'm going to enjoy my single favourite movement in music on repetition.įlute, oboe and horns are Beethoven's lead actors in the 7th. Instruments come into focus as the sliders get into the real world.
And as a pristine vinyl reissue, you can hear when the engineers get slider-happy. As a recording, it's representative of your typical, spotlit DG. Ensemble is flawless and the solo contributions are wonderful. And that's really not fair, as it is a very fine 7th. Try going up against the prettier, blonder, and smarter sister. Ive transcribed all of each voice, then all of the next voice. However, some of the applications which handle abc files have been incorporating experimental features which are capable of encoding music of much greater complexity. So, when Kleiber gathered the same players and recording team to record the 7th, it was akin to trying to capture lightning in a bottle.Īs such, this 7th got a little bit of a pasting in the audio press. The abc musical notation language originally developed by Chris Walshaw was designed to handle folk tunes. Many people consider the companion recording to this Beethoven 7 DG classic (Beethoven's 5th Symphony with the same forces) as not only the greatest Beethoven recording of all time but the greatest recording of all time.
