“Marriner presents both symphonies with a Mozart-sized orchestra. The result is lithe and fresh and with plenty of character. Dramatic contrasts are powerful, yet the music's proper scale is retained and the result is completely satisfying.”

Artistic Quality: 9
Sound Quality: 7
These excellent performances date from 1970, before Neville Marriner embarked on possibly the dullest complete Beethoven symphony cycle in history, and they have all of the qualities of elegance and verve that made the conductor and his Academy of St. Martin in the Fields the greatest chamber orchestra of the 1960s and ’70s. There’s simply nothing to quibble with from a musical standpoint: the allegros move along smartly, wind parts are clearly audible (particularly in the Second Symphony), and trumpets and drums cut through the texture without blasting. The two slow movements sing and the strings play beautifully. Of course, period groups have made Marriner’s approach sound a bit tame in comparison, but whatever the performances lack in rawness and edge they more than make up for in polish. It’s a perfectly legitimate view of the music, and one that has aged not a bit.
Sonically, these multichannel remasterings convey an excellent sense of the orchestra in a warm acoustic space, without emphasizing the rear channels to distracting effect. Unfortunately, there is a huge amount of ambient noise (in other words, hiss) that comes as quite a surprise given the silent backgrounds that we have become used to in this digital (or even Dolby) age. Whether or not this will bother you is very much a matter of personal preference, but be warned: audiophile sound this certainly is not. However, the musical values remain first rate and certainly justify making this pair of performances available again.
