Herreweghe has wonderful way with Beethoven: his performances of the Missa Solemnis and the Ninth Symphony combine clarity and richness, great energy and profound emotion. So, too, with these performances of Symphonies Nos. 4 and 7. I have been eargerly awaiting more releases in what I hope is to be a cycle. I ache to hear what Herreweghe does with the Eroica or with the 1st. Oh, well, with the 5th and 6th – all of them.

I say that these performances cannot be bettered, but I do not mean that they do not have their equals in excellence, such as Jochum with the Concertgebouw or the London Symphony; Monteux with the Vienna Philharmonic; Haitink with the London Symphony; Kubelik and the Bavarian Radio Symphony; and others according to individual taste.
