Beethoven-Junkie - This is the Best Recording IEugene Ormandy and the Philidelphia Philharmonic give us another stunning performance, played just at the right tempo, with great sound and audio. This is the way Beethoven's 9th is supposed to sound. Grand!!
cctjpogo - Best Beethoven's 9th version!Although an older performance, this is my favorite version of the 9th Symphony. Ormandy imbues the music with a persistent life and force that I find missing from Bernstein's and Vanska's interpretations. There is no stiltedness or unexpected drops in energy here that I've found in other recordings. The Choir's voices are not as distinct as I some might like, but the fourth movement is still rousing.
njrifon - Beethoven's 9 Eugene Ormandy conducting Philadelphia PhilharmonicOrmandy's interpretation surpasses all others. it is why you do not see other versions available. it is moving, powerful, and well balanced. i have listend to this version since 1973 and i never tire of it. all others pale. the pure joy and ecstasy come from beethoven, but the conductor, the interpreter, is required to translate it and keep the true beauty alive.
Vapor4.0 - Best II had a copy of this recording on vinyl in the early 70's when I was in college. It is the best recording of the 9th I've ever heard. I have looked for it for years on CD, as my album had way too many miles on it. I was never able to find a copy, and the original RCA recording was out of print. I stumbled onto this listing in iTunes and bought it immediately. I can't tell you how happy I am to have this recording again. I've heard a lot of orchestras and choirs perform this work, but IMO, this one is the superlative.
JBBevan - A historic collaboration...Ormandy loved recording with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (MTC). He worked well with them and was always sincerely complimentary...to the point of declaring them the world's greatest choir (!). Well, for this piece maybe they are since the pure volume of Condie's 375 more than meet the demands for "big" Beethoven (which isn't Harnoncourt or John Eliott Gardiner's variety). It was recorded in 1966 after live concerts in the Tabernacle. I was not there because I was living in Germany at the time, but by all accounts it was overwhelming in the live version. If the choir voices are, at times, indistinct it is because the Tabernacle was built so that up to 10,000 Latter-day Saints could hear Brigham Young speak without a microphone. It has long reverberation time and miking it to minimize those effects is very challenging (even for CBS engineers....not RCA...Columbia). So, for me, this is a recording of a historic event in the annals of Salt Lake City's storied music history. I love it's power.
