"A really first-class performance of the Fifth" said The Gramophone magazine in 1959 of Carl Schuricht's Paris Conservatoire Orchestra recording, made by EMI in 1957.

This week we reach the mid-point of Schuricht's complete Beethoven symphony cycle and celebrate our 700th orchestral release with that Fifth, one of the highlights of the Classical music canon and of this recorded cycle - coupled with a superb recording of the Fourth. Don't miss it!

HOROWITZ PROMOTION To celebrate the 120th birthday of pianist Vladimir Horowitz this week we're offering a 20% discount on all his recordings. Offer runs until 6 October.

In 1938, Siegmund von Hausegger and the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra recorded a definitive - and world première - studio recording of Bruckner's Symphony No. 9 for HMV/Electrola, some six years after establishing that Bruckner's original score was, by consent, the edition people wanted to hear.

This week we bring Pristine's Ambient Stereo XR remastering processes to bear on this monumental recording, which completely revitalises it some 85 years after it was made. I really is something very special!

WALTER PROMOTION To celebrate the 147th birthday of conductor Bruno Walter this week we're offering a 10% discount on all his recordings. Offer runs until 22 September.
