Walter Legge of EMI commissioned Cluytens to record all nine Beethoven symphonies with the Berlin Philharmonic. This was a special mark of Cluytens's rising reputation in the Germanic repertoire, because that orchestra was widely considered, along with the Vienna Philharmonic, to be one of the two finest in the world, especially in performing the Austro/German literatures. Legge, at that same time, commissioned complete Beethoven symphony recordings from Herbert von Karajan, and also from Otto Klemperer, both of whom were already widely acclaimed Austro-German maestros, and both of whom recorded the nine Beethoven symphonies with the Philharmonia of London. For Legge to place Cluytens in the same august Beethoven sphere as Klemperer and Karajan, and to give Cluytens the Berlin Philharmonic no less to do it, expressed EMI's absolute commitment that Cluytens was unsurpassed on Beethoven. All three of these sets were classic performances of these classic masterpieces, and have been reissued many times. What marks the Cluytens set apart from both others is its consistency, and the high extent to which it projects the distinctive optimistic and heroic but also sometimes somber character of Beethoven. The Cluytens Beethoven 9th has been especially frequently reissued, because of its utter lack of straining as it soars straight into the sky and above the clouds heading for the blazing sun of Beethoven's distinctive humanism. The sound which Cluytens drew from the Berlin Philharmonic reflected the pre-Karajan Berlin Philharmonic, and thus was quite different from the orchestra we know today. Before Karajan took over this orchestra in 1956, it had a rich and sonorous tone, not the sleek, efficient, and hard sound, which Karajan cultivated in it. The Cluytens set of the nine Beethoven symphonies might thus be considered the culmination of a tradition of Beethoven performance prior to the modern era, a sound and style so deep that if you look down into it you see the heart of the music, and you experience an age which no longer exists except to the extent that it's archived in this Cluytens Beethoven set and in a few other exalted recordings.
