Barenboim's BPO Beethoven Seventh

The speical thing about this disc is the sense of occasion.

The piano concerto no. 1 was nicely played with his personal stamps coming in here and there. The Symphony No. 7 is one of the shortest readings as nearly all repeats were omitted. Barenboim proverbially donned the jacket of Furtwangler and it was quite evident here.

Very interesting, though not my first choice.
