With the stylistic revival of recent years, we forget the great traditional interpretations. All symphonies are perfectly chiselled, architected with an impressive metronomic rigor. The Berlin Philharmonic folds perfectly to the style "Viennese" of this great leader, the result is even better than with Karajan in this directory. The tempi are perfectly measured and calm, particularly in the Great Symphony. Before buying a newer, probably interesting (Harnoncourt, for example), start with this: it is a reference.
