"... (Böhm's Pastoral) is as fine as any, a beautiful, unforced reading, one of the best played and (in its day) one of the best recorded. It still sounds fresh in its current reissue ..."
- The Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music
"These performances never have gotten the credit they deserve ... this Pastoral always has been considered a reference version, with playing from the Vienna Philharmonic that is exceptionally beautiful, interrupted only by that whale of a storm."
- ClassicsToday.com
"... (Böhm's) Beethoven is a compound of earth and fire. His reading is generally glorious and it remains one of the finest accounts of the work ever recorded ... (the Schubert is) a superb version of this lovely symphony, another work that suited Böhm especially well. The recording is splendid. If you admire Böhm this is a worthy way to remember his special gifts."
- Gramophone
This famous 1971 recording of Beethoven's Sixth by the Wiener Philharmoniker under Karl Böhm, now considered a reference, has been called one of the best versions ever recorded and one of Böhm's greatest career performances. On this programme it is paired with Schubert's Symphony No. 5, a 1979 recording which Gramophone praised as a "superb version of this lovely symphony."
