About

This title was released for the first time in 1999 and was one of the first to use Jonathan del Mar's edition in which textual errors and ambiguities are corrected.

"The result is a revelation in terms of clarity and in its extraordinary feat of propelling the listener back to 1824 to hear this revolutionary symphony with something like the ears of its first audience....Best of all is the dramatic finale in which Philippe Herreweghe obtains an ideal balance between chorus and orchestra and has a really outstanding quartet of soloists in Melanie Diener, Petra Lang, Endrik Wottrich and the splendid Dietrich Henschel." - Michael Kennedy, Sunday Telegraph June 6, 1999
