"Where should I begin? With the music or the recording technology? Both are equally thrilling!..." (Pizzicato) "Now, without wishing to go OTT about it, this is one SACD which I think I can unreservedly recommend to EVERY reader of this website who likes classical music. I′d personally go so far as to rate it as probably the most important issue sound-wise I′ve come across in listening to multichannel CDs, indeed in my entire adult listening experience (stretching back thirty years now)…" (Terence Blain on SACD.net)

Jean-Marc's Multi-Channel Recordings Reviews (01/01/2009):

(...) If I would have to use a single word to try to describe this recording I would use the word energy, this recording is bursting with sound energy rhythm and color. The second word I would use is clarity, we hear a staggering amount of music details throughout the whole recording. more...

Pizzicato (09/01/2006):

Mitten im Beethoven-Sound:
"Wo soll ich anfangen? Bei der Musik oder bei der Technik? Beide sind gleichermaßen begeisternd! Transistorfrei aufgenommen und im Tacet Real Surround Sound angeboten, sind diese Beethoven-Symphonien etwas ganz Außergewöhnliches. Mitten in einer Beethoven-Symphonie zu sitzen, garantiert ein neues Hörerlebnis und ist durchaus nicht unnatürlich. more...

For many years my objective in setting up a music-listening room has been to recreate the concert hall experience as closely as the technology and my pocket book would permit. more...

This is without doubt an excellent addition to the Beethoven catalogue with Rajski giving some of the most vibrant readings of these two magnificent symphonies that I have heard in a long while. more...

Classical CD Review (08/01/2006):

Voici, sans aucun doute, un excellent ajout à la discographie Beethoven… Wojtjek Rajski nous donne de ces deux symphonies l′une des lectures les plus vibrantes que j′aie entendues depuis longtemps. more...

private Email (06/05/2006):

"(...) ich habe jetzt nach meiner Rückkehr von der HighEnd die beiden Sinfonien mehrkanalig gehört und muss ganz ehrlich sagen, es war ein Erlebnis. Man spricht zwar auch bei Stereo vom "Durchhören" hier kann man es aber wörtlich nehmen. more...

Audio Live Klang Tipp

"Stereo-Kostproben dieser mitreißenden Beethoven-Einspielungen erhielten AUDIO-Leser schon mit den Hörkurs-CDs 3 und 4. Die SACD-Abmischungen machen den Spaß perfekt. more...

Klassik heute (05/31/2006):

"Schon die Einleitung „poco sostenuto“ zu Beethovens siebter Sinfonie lässt aufhorchen: Man ist sie eher langsam, gemessen gewohnt; hier aber wird sie schon recht bewegt und ganz ohne falsche Schwere musiziert. more...

Audiophile Audition (05/01/2006):

"We usually try to list the overall title of discs when they are given one, but in this case I held back. Because this one is billed as "Tacet′s Beethoven Symphonies." No sense getting confused with all those other Beethoven Symphonies out there. more...
