5.0 out of 5 stars Bernstein in Berlin Review, 29 Aug 2003
By A Customer
For its uniqueness, this is perhaps the most heartfelt rendition of the great Choral Symphony. It was extended and altered to celebrate the reunification of East with West, not just in Berlin, Germany as a whole, but the whole of Europe. The text was altered from Ode to Joy to Ode to Freedom. Bernstein has taken all but the second movement at a leisurely pace compared to many of his contemporaries' performances, but by bringing together instrumentalists from the world's greatest ensembles, the passion and the musical genius of Beethoven come across in every phrase. This is a live recording, so the odd cough is heard, but most notable is the late Bernstein stamping his foot on the podium at the start of each movement, and also during many of the more frantic and energetic passages. This should be bought as an historic addition to anyone's record library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alive!, 13 Sep 2008
By K. Hicks "CD lover" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have many versions of the 9th, this is not the most perfect in terms of technicalities but for a real sense of joy - which is what it is all about, this version can not be bettered. It is the version I play the most often by far.
