Beethoven's 9th
Can someone recommend the best 'audiophile' grade recording of this? I have the Harencourt (sp?), CD, but I just feel that it is lacking and...muddy..
I have the ability to do DVD-Audio if there is any good recordings of it, however I will only be using this in stereo so multichannel is not an issue. Seid umschlungen, Millionen! Diesen Kuss der ganzen Welt! |

I thought I had read here on this forum about a great distaste for DG recordings.

Solti on Decca. Can't comment on whether it's the best recording available, but it's a superb performance.

In that case, the one I have in mind is the 1987 recording with Jessye Norman and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Chorus on Decca 417 800-2.

Shouldn't you guys be having this discussion here?
Covers that are arguably better than the originals:

AFAIK he never conducted it by himself (it is difficult to conduct if you are deaf!). To be more exact he never even heard it by himself !!!!
