(4th) “complete confidence exists between the LSO, in magnificent form, and its conductor.This disc is a climax to the series” (BBC 5*)
(6th) “For anyone who wants first-rate stereo sound and a broadly traditional reading, it is hard to imagine more profoundly satisfying accounts than these. The playing of the LSO is nowadays quite magnificent” (BBC 4*)
“Very appealing, this – Both readings are profoundly satisfying, the work of musicians who know the scores backwards, love playing them and know what not to do … Haitink and the LSO seem set to provide one of the top Beethoven cycles of the digital era.” (Gramophone)
