"The Pittsburgh/Honeck Beethoven album reaches the shortlist of this century's great Beethoven symphony recordings ... You don't often find yourself learning new things, and hearing new angles, in music as well-worn as Beethoven's Fifth. That is what makes this such a special experience".

"Recording of the week: With little or no vibrato in the strings, and strident brass playing that intentionally verges on the shrill (particularly in the trumpets), this is no comfortable modern interpretation but a gritty account that leans into the vivid timbres the instruments offer ... Hearing Les Siècles extract every drop of character from Gossec's music, as well as from their period instruments (particular plaudits go to the clarinets for some wonderfully nimble playing in the first movement) is an absolute joy".

"Nu har Orchid Classics udsendt de fire "modne symfonier" af den geniale komponist ... Og Lan Shui foretrækker stadigvæk raske tempi, orkestret spiller lige så overbevisende - og som helhed forekommer dette dobbelt-sæt mere tiltrækkende end det foregående".

"Skæbnesymfonien, den femte i rækken, tager med det samme lytteren i kraven, og ligesom de følgende tre symfonier får den en til at spærre øjnene op. For Lan Shui, der med dette projekt siger farvel som chefdirigent til et orkester, han har ledet fra 2007 til 2015, opnår en balance og en gennemsigtighed, der får de ellers voldsomme og ruskende symfonier til at fremstå som potent kammermusik. Indtrykket er djærvt og direkte, spruttende understøttet af stramme, historiske messinginstrumenter".

"Den græskfødte nu russiske dirigent Teodor Currentzis har efter års arbejde med Mozarts operaer vendt sig mod Beethoven. Med en eksplosiv udgave af 5. Symfoni som første hug i en serie med komponisten ... For kollektivet og det perfekte samspil er det centrale i hans fortolkninger, og de har i orkestret brugt år på at indstudere Beethoven i bestræbelse på at kunne eksplodere i lynhurtige, pletfrie versioner. Og det er altså en fornøjelse at lade sig imponere af det knivskarpe orkester og deres evne til at spille igennem - sammen ... Det er ekstrem musik med højt til loftet og langt ned i kulkælderen. Currentzis er en excentrisk type, der insisterer på at gøre det anderledes ... Men hans forsøg er stærkt fascinerende - og meget modigt".

"From the opening bars of Beethoven's Fifth ... there is intense conviction. Not only in the fiery playing, though that is extraordinary, but in the way that van Zweden elicits usually unheard details of scoring and surprising rhythms which, though certainly in the score, I had never heard before ... Overall this is a triumph, to be listened to especially by anyone who feels they don't have an urgent need to listen to these works again".

"Certainly is sin't a good idea to sprad the first chord, slowly, as Emanuel Ax does, following Gould's example. After that, however, he is impeccable, and Tilson Thomas is still on inspired form".

"Vurdering: Rosette (Uniquely valuable)" - "Carlos Kleiber's Fifth stands out among all others ... The first movement is electrifying, but has a hushed intensity too ... Carlos Kleiber finds darker, more disturbed emotions. The slow movement is tender and delicate ... and the finale, even more than usual, releases the music into pure daylight".

"Vurdering: Gramophone diamond (Simply the best)" - "[Nr. 5:] This is one of those legendary recordings that everyone knows about, but whichs quite takes the breath every time it's played. Kleiber paces the work magnificently and draws from the great VPO playing of an unparalleled intensity and beauty ... [Nr. 7:] Great recordings of the Seventh, greatly played and conducted ... are as rare as gold dust. Freshly refurbished, this Kleiber Seventh would go right to the top of any short list of recommendable Sevenths".

"Manfred Honeck ... fährt hier einen Kurs der Beethoven-Interpretation, dessen Ziel nicht recht deutlich werden will: Vor allem die Brillanz und die Klanggewalt seines Luxusklangkörpers scheint er in den Fokus stellen zu wollen, in einer geradezu romantischen Lust an der Überrumpelung durch die grandios zur Schau gestellte Orchesterpalette".

"The Fifth Symphony represents the challenge of being the best-known work in the repertoire, but without being quirky Haitink presents it in a way that feels utterly fresh ... The First Symphony ... moves with that Haydnish combination of gracefulness and ebullience which is the work's hallmark. This is one of the finest contributions to this series".

"It is hard to recall a more relentlessly driven performance of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony than this newcomer ... especially in the outer movements. It is not that it sets any new land-speed records, though it is certainly brisk. Rather, Roth elicits a consistent and persistent sense of forward momentum that, allied to a willingness to accentuate the coarser aspects of the period instruments, places this symphony as an irruption of the Classical era rather than a blueprint for musical Romanticism".

"Zwei Stücke, die zur gleichen Zeit entstanden: Beethovens 5. SInfonie, hier wohlartikuliert und spieltechnisch glänzend eingespielt, und die "Symphonie à 17 parties" des Franzosen François-Joseph Gossec. Bei aller geistiger Verbindung Beethovens zu Frankreich als dem Land der Revolution bleibt der Eindruck starker Gegensätze, die zugleich geläufige Vorstellungen verstärken".

"After hearing these explosive, invigorating and electrifying performances, we are reminded once again of the ferocious intensity that must have shell-shocked 19th-century Viennese audiences ... Gardiner brings tremendous rhythmic drive and irresistable forward momentum to both Symphonies and revels in the sheer audacity of Beethoven's orchestration, enhanced by Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique's expert use of period instruments. They produce wonderful subtleties of nuance".

"Vi har fået nye bud på Mozart, Mahler, Stravinsky og Tjajkovskij af den græsk-fødte russer og hans sibiriske periodeorkester, og nu får vi Beethoven. Og sågar med den mest ikoniske symfoni af dem alle, den femte. Det er en ubarmhjertig og intens oplevelse, som heldigvis er mere opløftende end udmattende at lytte til ... De musikalske tag er tydelige, rytmen er stram og langt sikrere udført end på alle andre indspilninger, jeg kan komme i tanke om, hvilket er noget af en bedrift i betragtning af det høje tempo ... Det samlede indtryk er overbevisende, ærligt, intelligent og med en følelse af form, der giver symfoniens apoteose maksimal vægt".

"Orchestral choice: In this most celebrated of symphonies the players sound at times as though they might explode with excitement. Where appropriate, they generate a rapier-like thrust that sweeps aside conventional thinking. It's an exhilarating helter-skelter ride, which finds Currentzis (as if in full meditative flow) focusing on the music's emotional narrative with electrifying powers of single-minded concentration".

"Zu hören ist eine Aufnahme, die gekennzeichnet ist von penibler bis besessener Aufmerksamkeit auf die Artikulation. Klar gesprochen wird hier bis zur Exaltierheit ... Currentzis erweist sich erneut als sorgfältiger Techniker, aber nichts als jener Mann spiritueller Empfindsamkeit, als der er sich zu inszenieren versucht".

"His Beethoven is solidly built from the ground upwards, led by crisply distinct (but not divided) violins and strong on countermelodies ... There may be nothing here to equal the megawatt intensity of Bernstein's 1960s NYPO cycle but a quick, hawk-eyed intelligence ... and improvisatory melodic freedom (is that swing I hear in the Trio?) offer more than adequate compensation".

"Stylish, well-focused playing and conducting ... Lan Shui's conducting is generally logical and up-tempo but he is not averse to the occasional unmarked 'interpretative' touch. He must also be responsible, in part at least, for the adoption of a quasi 'period' style ... The Copenhagen Phil ... has some decent players".

"An excellent and often urgent Fifth, the opening forceful but unforced ... I can't recall having heard a prouder, more mobile or more expressively yielding Andante in recent years ... the playing always beautifully pointed ... The First Symphony is just as satisfying ... Such instinctive unostentatious musicianship is as rare now as it ever was, and you can take that as a keen recommendation".

"I will surely return to this Fifth for its dazzling array of timbre - piccolo and trombone less theatrical in this regard than the cutting-edge horns and marvellously contralto-ish clarinets of Les Siècles".

"Vurdering: Gramophone choice" - "So palpable is the excitement of these live performances that it almost comes as a shock that the applause has been excised ... Gardiner and his resplendent Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique rejoice here in the sheer physicality of the music ... These are the kind of performances that remind us of what a revolution of reassessment period-instrument bands provoked".

"Är det möjligt att komma med något nytt när man ger sig i kast med Beethovens femma? Att den grekisk-ryske dirigenten Teodor Currentzis skulle hitta några banbrytande infallsvinklar i symfonin är kanske lite för mycket begärt. Men nog lyckas han få musiken att klinga angeläget, Som så ofta häpnar man över Musica-Aeternas makalösa spel. Musicerandet har en enorm täthet och virtuositet över sig och det finns en drive och flexibilitet i spelet som kan ta andan ur en".

"To make Beethoven's Fifth sound fresh seems a Herculean task, yet that's what Teodor Currentzis accomplishes here in a relentlessly intense performance that will likely keep you on the edge of your seat from the first note to the last. Such extremity comes at a cost, however ... There's a brutality to it that by the end feels quite pugilistic. Certainly, Currentzis's interpretation is worth hearing".
