Ohhh, could this BIS hybrid cd with Osmo Vanska and the Minnesota Orchestra be my favorite Beethoven 3??
Better than Abbado and the Berlin Phil? Better than Norrington and the London Classical Players?
Better than Furtwängler and the Vienna Philharmonic?? Better than Karajan's? Better than Szell? What????
Have ... I ... finally ... lost ... my ... mind???

Quite possibly. I think this just might be the best.

Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 3 & 8
Hybrid SACD
Ludwig van Beethoven (Composer), Osmo Vänskä (Conductor)

Interesting.

Could you say a little bit about what lifts it to that level in your estimation?

I've acquired two Vanska performances that are so bad I can't listen to them (one I just threw out): Mahler 6 and Sibelius 4.

In both his tempos are so slow as to suck all the life out of the music.

I've got him doing Nielsen's 6th and it's not very exciting either.

Nice 24/96 remaster of Karajan doing the late Mozart symphonies. Substantially improved from a sound quality standpoint over the prior release, although still not a reference level sound quality. But at least the sound quality no longer gets in the way of enjoying the performances. Anyway, with this set you can really hear just what a top notch ensemble the Berlin PO was under Karajan.
