“Karajan injects plenty of drive into the first movement ... and is splendid in the development section. I find his second movement noble and he’s very good, too, in the third ... the 4th movement is very well handled by Karajan and the sound from the orchestra as the finale bursts upon us is commanding ... fiery and powerful”
[7th] “mobile and fluent yet the pace is not so fleet as to compromise the stature of the music ... On to the finale where Karajan’s athleticism and drive is impressive ... highly competitive. (MusicWeb) “this symphony can stand forceful treatment and thrive on it ... the white heat of Karajan's energy sweeps one along, and there is little use uttering any complaint ... of the extra vitality here” (Gramophone)
