Last, but certainly not the least, is Gunter Wand's live recording of Eroica with the NDR SO in 1989.It is placed here not because it is the least favoured in my favourite list, but just because it is the latest issued. Incidentally the bracketed number after each favourite symphony has nothing to do with the order of preference; it is just a number for archiving purposes.
I have nothing to say about this recording, except perhaps the word "superb".
In these days when every new recording of Eroica is being compared with and then overshadowed by those of the historical giants, Wand's reading can not just stand on its own, but also among them.
