Beethoven Conductors on Record

Many conductors have made Beethoven a speciality; several have recorded more than one complete cycle.

But that alone is not enough to make one conductor's Beethoven of particular interest. Some conductors didn't record complete cycles and yet are still worth searching out.

Here, then, are my personal views on X's Beethoven. In strictly alpabetical order.

• Busch

• Fricsay

• Furtwängler

• Karajan

• Klemperer

• Scherchen

• Schuricht

• Nikisch
