It would have to be the ninth, then. Deutsche Grammophon's 1977 edition of Beethoven's Fifth, performed by the Berlin Philharmonic directed by Herbert von Karajan, is just short of 30 minutes - 29:52 to be exact. I don't have Beethoven's Ninth, but judging from track listings in the Deutsche Grammofon catalog, it is somewhere in the vicinity of 50 minutes - not much more than fifty, because the CD it's on starts off with the Coriolan Ouverture (op. 62), which is just shy of nine minutes long, and these CDs hover around the 60-minute mark.
