Synopsis

Amazon.com
Joseph Keilberth was one of those solid German conductors who grew up in the opera house and who shuttled around central Europe turning in reliable performances of the standard repertoire. The approach is a known quantity: sensible tempos, strong bass lines, and good orchestral discipline. It may not sound inspiring, but every so often, as in this version of the Seventh, something would simply "click," with superlative results. All of these performances are sensitive and capable, but that Seventh is extraordinary and worth the (bargain) price of the set. --David Hurwitz
