Not a popular choice I'd say. Also not a popular pairing of Sawallisch and RCO in recordings. You need to listen to them to appreciate the lithe reading and the amazing sonority.

Beethoven's First and Second are averse to heavy-handed treatment. Not so for Wand here, even if his reading was not HIP. The vitality and classical feel are all here. Simply lovely.
