PhilMH SUBS ● 17th Feb 2016		Added month of release from Decca's 1974 catalogue. The same orchestra and conductor also recorded Symphony No. 3, released as SXL 6232 in November 1966.

Magic Marmalade 4th Feb 2016		Review This is what I'd been looking for on a Decca Wideband press... A full symphony to really test the capability of these highly regarded vinyls. ... and they don't come much bigger than this one... In fact, they don't come any bigger at all! The fantastic "Ode To Joy": Full orchestra, full chorus, and individual solo vocalists. And it delivers. A widescreen presentation of this massive work which handles the weight of the music with ease, with a lot of punch, and power, but without any loss of detail or distortion at all... the instruments are individually picked out, and each element of the orchestra, chorus, and lead solo parts have their own space, and with great clarity. Beethoven's 9th is a staple food of any classical diet, and ought to be in your collection in any issue, even if you don't go much on classical music. So if you're going to choose a record to buy this year... why not this one? I'm Magic Marmalade... and I approve this message. 2 people found this review helpful.   ✔︎ Helpful Review?
