Symphony 5th - best recording

Love the kid who loves the da-da-da-dummm. :-)

The Deustsche Grammaphone recording is also a speakers corner recommendation on vinyl. I own it and love it. Beethoven's 9th on MSFL vinyl rocks too. Lots of posts from me today, it's a snow day. Yippee!

It might be Mahler? Or Shostakovich? There are several "5ths" that are still world famous (even if they did not appear in "Clockwork Orange" which, btw, is not suitable for a three year old!)

I slightly prefer Reiner's to Kleiber's, although the latter is available on SACD (the DG sound might still be a bit harsh). The former will probably be re-issued on SACD. Szell with the Concertgeboew in a 24/96 re-mastering is also excellent. Boehm's VPO version is more relaxed than the others.

Sorry for the vague post, yes, I meant Bethoven's 5th. The program that he saw is Little Einsteins...it's about 4 little kids in a rocket that travel around the globe. At the beginning of each show they introduce the music that they will be hearing.

Thanks for the great recommendations everyone.

Thanks for the compliment Newbee...here is a link to the show in case you have kids of your own:
