5.0 out of 5 stars Beethoven by the metronome, 22 Aug 2001
By Laurence Levine (FLUSHING, N.Y. USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This CD, the first of a projected cycle, presents perhaps the best look into Beethoven's mind by virtue of Zander's following the metronome marks left by Beethoven. The results are anything but conventional. Brisk tempos, fiery insight. Telarc supplies sound quality in line with their usual standard. Zander's comments and illustrations are perfect. In my book, definitive Beethoven. I've been waiting twenty five years for this. On to the other seven symphonies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unconventional... but all the more brilliant for that, 19 Dec 2004
By Thomas Weaver (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I probably would not have bought this had I not seen Ben Zander speak at a conference. Whilst there, he illustrated on the piano how the famous opening bars of the 5th are normally interpreted, and then played the interpretation that Zander thinks Beethoven really meant.

The effect is incredible. The music is different, and better (in my opinion) for that.

I immediately bought the CD and have introduced many people to it over the past five years. Most have been fascinated; admittedly some people find it difficult after being so indoctrinated with the original. On the other hand, it is difficult for me to go back to the "original" version, which feels dull and plodding, whereas Zander's interpretation is thriving and alive.

This has reportedly been discontinued now so I imagine it won't be around much longer - a shame. Get it whilst you can.
