It is sometimes rather demoralizing that only a few modern recordings get into my favourite list. It either indicates that I'm too old to accept new things, or reflects the fact that modern Beethoven recordings seldom reach the artistic levels of those in the past.
Not so with this Abbado's Berlin Beethoven Seventh. It is part of his second Beethoven symphonies cycle.
The orchestral playing is immaculate. Abbado's phrasing is beautiful and natural and so very convincing. There is, however, no lack of drama here. The finale is devilishly exciting. The best-sounding Seventh in my favourite list.
