Now comes to the magic 7. Would it be too many? Well, as the saying goes, you can't have too much of a good thing, can you?Monteux may not be the first conductor that comes to many music lovers' mind when Beethoven symphonies are mentioned, but his account of Eroica is mesmerizing, if it is the correct word to use.
Excellent playing from the VPO, from start to finish as if in one breath. No fuss. No nuisance. But not bland. A fine example of Monteux's "natural" conducting style with an inner glow.
