"The performances, the Vienna Philharmonic on top form, can't help sounding wonderful...oddly, it is the discussions that are the most enjoyable elements in this ambitious set."
(BBC Music Magazine)
"The sound in this set is so vivid throughout, so lifelike that you can hear the minutest detail: a couple of minutes or so into the first movement of the Ninth Symphony (track 14 - 118:30) the principal clarinettist in an idle moment blows against his instrument twice to clear it, and if you listen attentively, you can hear these breathy swishes quite distinctly amid the other considerable orchestral activity. That might be better than being there in a front row seat for the concert. Bravo, engineers! I'm glad no members of the orchestra were experiencing indigestion that night! The camera work is also excellent, always offering pertinent shots of soloists, instrumentalists or sections."
(Recording of the Month MusicWeb May 2011)
