Beethoven: Symphony Nos. 6, 7 & 8/2 Overtures -
List Price: $17.98
Amazon Price: $12.80
Used Price: $9.90
| Karl Böhm's Beethoven is, on balance, the best complete cycle available from Deutsche Grammophon. This will come as a surprise to many, given the fact that the label relentlessly promotes performances by Herbert von Karajan (three complete cycles!) and Leonard Bernstein, but for quality of playing, as well as superb sound, these versions are just about unbeatable. And at a "twofer" price, the complete set on three pairs of discs is a terrific value. --David Hurwitz

Mahler: Symphony No.4; Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen -
List Price: $6.98
Amazon Price: $5.85
Used Price: $2.99
| This disc combines two remastered classic Mahler recordings--Szell's Cleveland account of the fourth symphony from 1965, and Davis's reading of the Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen from 1978--and the pairing is inspired. The Cleveland Orchestra has always had a reputation for phenomenal accuracy and brilliance, and Szell harnesses these qualities to give an almost supernaturally clear account of Mahler's score. Details of lower-string phrasing, thrown-away woodwind chirrups, and muted trumpets supporting a melody are given just the right amount of emphasis to make the surface texture sparkle with life. But, more important, Szell also captures the overall mood of ironic playfulness, while heeding Mahler's own direction with regard to the childlike last movement--"without parody." There is a minor jolt between the symphony and the Lieder--not just in the recording levels, but in suddenly entering Davis's much more impressionistic approach to Mahler. But once adjustment has been made, the rewards are great. He focuses everything on Stade's glorious voice and less on the details of orchestration, which makes for a sympathetic, flexible accompaniment and a moving performance of great pathos. --Warwick Thompson

Brahms, Schumann: Symphony No. 1 / Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra -
List Price: $11.98
Amazon Price: $7.38
Used Price: $3.95
| The performance of the Schumann is one of the worst, if not the worst, in the history of mankind. Thick, coagulated string textures with nary a woodwind in sight give plenty of ammunition to those who claim that Schumann couldn't orchestrate. The Brahms symphony is a bit better, but not much. Herbert von Karajan really was so much less successful in the basic German repertoire than he wanted everyone to think. That's probably why he recorded it so many times. No matter--this is not recommendable at all. --David Hurwitz
