Splutter - I do not agree that the Walter Columbia Pastoral is lethargic . It is a classic ! Up there with Bohm,Boult,Kletzki,Cluytens , Kleiber pere et fils and Szell( the Szell is fabulousLast edited by Barbirollians; 30-09-15, 21:34.

Originally posted by HighlandDougie View PostLike many other slightly obscure Beethoven cycles (Joseph Keilberth for example), it's available in Japan. I looked at it in Tower Records (it wasn't very expensive) but struggled to remember anything very positive being said about it at the time so I didn't buy it. Perhaps I shouldn't have been so hasty in my judgement.

I've been listening to the JEG, Hogwood, Norrington, Krivine, Goodman/Huggett and Antonini (except #9) symphony cycles and really enjoy the more modern approach.
I fancy adding another set to my collection and was thinking od Bruggen's 2011 live Rotterdam set or the van Immerseel with Anima Eterna.
Does anybody have a view on the merit of these recordings, or can offer a steer?

Despite all the blemishes, I still love that old Hanover Band set. I must be one of the few people who like the cavernous Nimbus recording acoustic!
