My favourite Beethoven Symphony No. 8 (1)
You have to listen to this reading of the 8th. The players were playing their hearts out for Pablo Casals. The rhythmic drive, the harmonies, the inevitabilities and above all the musicality all add up to a truly pleasurable experience. The 7th in the same disc is only marginally less well played.
