There is no performance of the Ninth that compares to this one\" (Heinrich Kralik). The legendary Zyklus was acclaimed for its \"rigidity, clarity of structure, and hymn-like ecstasy\" (Express). Klemperer insisted on performing all of Beethoven's symphonies in a cycle, and the 1960 Vienna Art Week was his third with the Philharmonia and his first overseas. Yuzo Toyama, who was listening to this overwhelmingly successful concert at the time, said, \"The conductor was Klemperer, and it was wonderful. The Philharmonia Orchestra sounded exactly the same as we hear on recordings. It is very shiny. It was shiny. I have never heard an orchestra with that kind of luster. And the ensemble is perfect. Klemperer is a very great personality, and his persona makes for a very fine performance. In fact, even listening to it now, I am reminded of Klemperer's greatness by the extraordinary tension and power. I compared the sound quality with that of the previous recordings, and it is excellent. The greatness of the performance, together with the excellent sound quality, makes this a very impressive disc.
