„Analog“ – das Magazin der „Analog Audio Association“ –
(...) This complete recording is a treasure both technically and musically (...)
Fono Forum –
(...) What makes this record so special is that only tube technology was used during the recording. (...) Contrary to the prejudice that tubes sound warm and soft, this Sixth has nothing romanticized or bloated about it. The playback is clearly defined, three-dimensional and vivid thanks to the two-microphone technique. Even those whose hi-fi system does not consist entirely of tube components will take great pleasure in this flawlessly pressed 180-gram record.

The recording is released as CD, SACD and LP and targets audiophile listeners. In addition to a 180-gram sticker and "Tube only" lettering, the cover of the LP contains a lot of information about the microphones and other equipment. This often leads one to fear the worst for the music - but not here. The Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra continues its Beethoven cycle with Wojciech Rajski and plays the "Pastorale" on conventional instruments in modern playing technique. Nevertheless, there is no fluffy string carpet from which the winds could produce themselves alone. The dialogic is clearly in the foreground, and in the balance between strings and winds Rajski leans toward historically informed music-making practice. He achieves with the ensemble he founded almost 30 years ago a performance that is rich in contrast in dynamics, transparent in sound, and rather rapid in tempi, yet very energetic at the same time. At least on vinyl, there is no equivalent alternative to this "Pastorale" - not on the used market or among reissues. The manufacturing quality of my LP was good, but the center hole was a bit too large. The sound quality is fabulous.
