Top of the Tree

Categories like "best ever" are meaningless but by any definition this cd comes very close to the top of the tree. Composer : Ludwig Van Beethoven. Works : Symphony No 5, just about the most famous symphony of them all, and Symphony No 7, famously described as "the epitome of the dance". Performers : The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Carlos Kleiber. Pretty near faultless if you ask me and not much more to be said. Except that the life force contained within is irresistable.
