Symphony No. 1 in C major

Ludwig van Beethoven

Eugen Jochum / Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra / Berlin Philharmonic

Late 1950s

Jochum's top choice for the first two symphonies. There's warmth, elegance, grace, and humanity that really fits the music well. Very charming and elegant.

レーベル： Deutsche Grammophon

Leonard Bernstein / Vienna Philharmonic

1978

A little bit more of Beethoven 'oomph' and power. A large, warm sound with Bernstein's characteristic rhythmic energy, vitality, and beautiful phrasing.

Nikolaus Harnoncourt / Chamber Orchestra of Europe

1990 Modern instruments, but 'period-like'.

Not technically period, but 'period-like' with modern instruments. More transparent, faster tempos, very elegant, and exciting.
