Audiophile quality Beethoven 6th symphonie

Goodness, that's not easy!

Karl Boehm's recording with the Vienna Philharmonic for DG from the 1970s is probably the best, but is only available on CD now. Of course, you may find a copy in a charity shop, or a specialist vinyl outlet.

I've been reading a book on Carlos Maria Giulini, he did some Beethoven and recorded with Chicago SO and a wonderful period with Philharmonia in London. I'm going to hunt down some of those when I get time. Don't know if he specifically did the 6th.

Just did a quick websearch, and assuming you're in the UK :

Thanks for the replys, i will order it today many thanks.

Hello mrflange,

you should consider getting a complete 9 symphony box-set...

not only better value for money but box set vinyl is often in much better condition because of getting less played from pre-ownership, than a single LP symph.

i've got four of Lugwigs complete 9-symph box-sets so far... i don't think i need any more ; )

and i haven't had time yet to explore them all properly...

However i do enjoy the Klemperer : )

good luck with your search!

Thanks for that, but where would i get a box set from?

eBay is a good place to start.
