Beethoven: Pastoral Symphony / Schubert: Symphony No. 5 Conductor: Karl Böhm Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Recorded: May 1971, Grosser Saal, Musikverein, Vienna This recording of the "Pastoral" is the best performance of this piece. The rich tones of each instrument in the Vienna Philharmonic are wonderful, but the way they overlap to create harmony is a beauty that can only be described as a miracle.
