![]() ![]() Whilst their 2nd and 4th movements are relatively similar, Horenstein's first movement is nearly 3 minutes quicker than Solti's, and his third is almost 33% faster and thus five minutes shorter. I compared it to a later recording by Solti, which runs to a more leisurely 76 and three-quarter minutes. This was achieved both by having some quite lengthy sides - the label claims 33 minutes and 32 minutes duration, with a split partway through the third movement - and by Horenstein conducting the work at a fair old lick. Horenstein's Beethoven Nine is that rarest of things - a recording of the symphony which fitted onto a single LP, rather than the more common three sides. Sounding fabulous in this new 32-bit XR transfer and remastering Horenstein's classic 1956 recording of the Choral Symphony ![]()
