This Beethoven Ninth is a recording which has not been much talked about. Some of my friends did not even know its existence. But if you somehow come across it, I'd urge you to buy it at once before it is gone.
Sinopoli is well-known for his idiosyncratic interpretation. That usually brings us many surprises in standard repertoire. Not so here, in a sense. He adopted a romantic but not unusual approach. He allowed the music to speak for itself. The minor details were not missed. The Adagio was beautiful. The choir was really superb, and it crowned the Finale.
A very satisfying Choral Symphony.
