Wow way to bring up a dead thread. But, since I am a Beethoven Addict, I shall bring new life by saying that Karajan's recordings are NOT horrible. Though, the London Classical Players' recording is the best that I have heard. Each movement is very clear and they use period instruments and actual tempo markings. However, I do prefer the 4th mov of symph 5 a little faster than what they take it as. The strings have a deep, rich sound and the brass have a penetrating, yet majestic sound. The winds are full, but the flute is a little bit bright. You should definitely get this set.!
