Beethoven - Symphony 6 [Sawallisch-Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra]

Here's the companion Symphony to the Fifth i reviewed last month [11th August 2010], again i must say this is a slightly muddy recording, but i toned down the bass, and increased the volume to compensate, and it sounds fine.

And again i mention the booklet cover, gold and purple!, the red logo stands out, with Mr Sawallisch in a side profile pose.

The opening movement was a sweet revelation, what a delicious way to start a Symphony, full of the joys of the countryside,

Here's Myung Whun Chung conducting the first movement on YouTube.
