These famous recordings of the symphonies and overtures with his beloved Vienna Philharmonic display legendary Austrian conductor Karl Böhm’s innate sympathy for Beethoven’s music. Böhm’s Beethoven is a compound of earth and fire ... His 1971 VPO recording of [the] Sixth dominated the LP catalogue for over a decade ... and it remains one of the finest accounts of the work (Gramophone).
