Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 - Eroica / Schubert: Symphony No. 8 - Unfinished,d.759
Talk about pointless duplication of repertoire! This well-filled CD  offers competent but completely anonymous performances of Beethoven and Schubert  symphonies. Under James Levine, the Met Orchestra has become an extremely fine  group, but good playing isn't enough when there are dozens of other recordings  of this music that offer both good playing and a modicum of genuine musical  insight. A waste.--David Hurwitz
