Furtwängler / Bayreuth Festival Orchestra
HistoricalEMI / Warner · 1951
The 1951 concert that reopened Bayreuth. Poor sound, tempo freedoms that would now be called excessive, and a finale nobody has since matched for momentum.
Gardiner / Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique
Period instrumentsArchiv · 1994
Period instruments at Beethoven's own metronome marks. The scherzo moves so fast it sounds like a different piece, and the much smaller chorus makes the words audible.
