4.0 out of 5 stars Good lyrical beethoven, 13 Feb 2008
By Denis A. Dye "denis..cds." (birmingham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been looking for these recordings for sometime now and at last I have them.I have Blomstedt,Cluytens,Karajan {PO}&{BPO},Klemperer,Szell and now JK.The recordings in terms of pure sound are fine though short of the highest fi detail is good and the playing while not the equal of the Berliners or Clevelanders is very good as befits the LSO.Ive heard bad reports of the mastering playing and recorded sound but I cant go along with these crits maybe the cost {its dirt cheap dont lets kid ourdeves }is a barrier to some listeners giving this product house-room.
Having another set of the symphonies at much less than a fiver is too good to pass up it gives me another view/angle on great music.
Krips was instrumental in my earliest listenings with the LSO at the Festival Hall in the late 50s and early 60s. He brings lyricsm to big Luwig the Schubertian lightness without the heavy stodge .His are midlle of the road interpretations and they are not to be dismissed as such rather they let the music speak without dramatic turns or stylized orchestral effects. Good honest music making at an incredibly good honest price . If they dont work for you you can always use the "tin can "as a sandwich box !!... 4 plus rating.

4.0 out of 5 stars mozartian beethoven, 11 Jun 2008
By rc_rc (Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
Classic Krips - lovely proportioned interpretations with few histrionics, just appropriately scaled and expressed.

Due to slightly questionable sonic balances here and there, and the fact that this doesn't equate to the fire-and-brimstone beethoven that most expect, this is probably not a first choice. Get a Karajan, Bernstein, Solti, Harnoncourt, Zinman, Hogwood etc for that.

However, for what it is, to add another Beethoven cycle to your already full collection, it's wonderful, and well recommended.
