Amazon.com A standout version of the Pathetique, one that millions of music lovers grew up on. This classic performance, featuring the incomparable Philadelphia strings, has been lovingly transferred to CD in excellent remastered sound, and is available at a budget price. There's really nothing more to be said. Eugene Ormandy was one of the 20th century's most passionate advocates of the composer, and his orchestra was without peer in this music at the time this recording was made. Essential. --David Hurwitz
