About

Just in case you thought you’d heard the last of ‘authentic’ Beethoven symphonies, there are evidently legions of period ensembles licking their chops to take their shot at the Mighty Nine..... Two sharp orchestral jabs and the “Eroica” is off like a stallion. Yet it doesn’t feel rushed because the ear is constantly beguiled by Beethoven’s dovetailing contrapuntal lines, rendered in vivid colours by the orchestra.

This is especially so in the Funeral March - here, the highlight of the symphony - where Guttenberg invests the climaxes with an intensity not too far removed from the first movement of Mahler’s Fifth Symphony.” - www.classicstoday.com
