“Karajan made three recordings of the mighty Ninth Symphony for DG of which this 1977 take is the finest. Tonal beauty and sophistication go hand in hand with bracing physicality to make this one of the most compelling Ninths ever recorded ... Awesome tuttis underpinned by visceral timpani alternate with melt-in-the-mouth string textures throughout, making this an unforgettable experience.” – Classic FM, 2007

“Sets new standards of orchestral playing.” – Gramophone

“Beethoven is in no way déjà vu to Karajan, as this set gloriously proves.” – Gramophone
