Reviews

This most famous of all Mercury records was one of the most successful classical LPs of all time, selling some two million copies in the analogue era. Remastered for CD, it sounds even more spectacular than it ever did in its vinyl format, vividly catching Beethoven's musical picture of armies classhing. ... On this remastered CD the balance is managed spectacularly, with the ‘shots’ perfectly timed, while the Minneapolis Orchestra clearly enjoy themselves both in 1812 and in the brilliant account of Capriccio italien.
