My first 'original instruments' set of the symphonies and wow, definite 'wish I'd bought these when they were first released' moment.
Highlight is the 'Eroica', best third I've heard, by quite a margin.
Not played the ninth yet, saving it for the weekend...
4 & 8 up tonight...
more to follow.
For those interested, I followed my own 'rule of eight' I listen to two symphonies a night, their combined number totalling 8, ie: 1 & 7, 2 & 6, 3 & 5, 4 & 8 (I know) then 9
