Malgré un orchestre moyen mais qu’il pousse à fond, René Leibowitz emporte l’adhésion dans son intégrale des symphonies de Beethoven qui n’a pas pris une ride (excepté le souffle de la bande passante), tant sa direction exaltante et moderne sait allier émotion, légèreté, souplesse et puissance. La confidentialité commerciale qui accompagna la sortie de cette intégrale — elle restera assez méconnue au fil du temps — fut inversement proportionnelle à son énorme impact musical sur les heureux mélomanes qui ont eu la chance de l’acquérir. Les Symphonies 1, 2, 3, 5 et 7 restent vraiment inégalées (et inégalables ?) de par la tension, l’énergie et l’élan assez uniques imprimés par le chef. Pour le reste, on aurait souhaité un peu plus de magie dans la « Pastorale » et une exécution plus aboutie dans la Symphonie n° 9, malgré les deux très beaux premiers mouvements, par la faute d’un quatuor vocal décevant excepté le ténor Richard Lewis, seul à être à la hauteur de l’attente.
