Reviewer Comments:
"I'm deeply moved. Yes, I was listening to Music! NO vanity, NO show-off effects, NO demagogy, only Music!!!"
"Thanks to the neglected conductor MAXIMIANNO COBRA, maybe or certainly "the" dignified successor of Klemperer's and Celibidache's art, the architectural form and THE TEMPI CONCEPTION of Beethoven's 9th become a REVOLUTIONARY REVELATION."
"We have the impression to be inside Beethoven's mind. If I add the artistical approach to the unrivalled technology and sound quality of this recording this DVD will definitely become a reference."
"... The performance takes 1hour 50 minutes to perform whilst most other conductors do this in about 60 to 70 minutes! ..."
