"The performances are dull and dragging, but the greatest problem with this collection is the 3rd Symphony, whose first HALF of its 2nd movement have been CUT! (If you're not familiar with this piece, that includes about 7 minutes of music). For serious Beethoven fans, there are many fabulous and exciting box sets of Beethoven's Symphonies, Szell, Karajan (1963 recording), even Solti, and then Gardiner and Hogwood on period instruments (the latter two are such fast performances as to be especially thrilling). For those new to classical music and Beethoven, I'd recommend buying the symphonies one at a time, maybe even from some of the conductors listed above."

"This collection may seem enticing to someone who would like to become familiar with classical music without spending a lot of money. I bought this many years ago before I knew a whole lot about classical music, for the price. The Beethoven symphonies will provide you with a lifetime of musical enjoyment and appreciation. Get one of the best collections available: Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra."
