The only problem is that, in the second movement, the grace notes are absolutely wrong. Why Kleiber does this (it has to be intentional), I have no clue. Otherwise, the recording is astounding.Originally posted by Agathon
That'd be the one: DG Originals, with the 5th. Pure Genius - along with Reiner's Bartok a Desert Island Disc.
Amen. Toscanini bores me. Precise, yes, but also dry, clipped and expressionless. Furtwangler was a broken man by the time he died, however. A late victim of the Nazi regime.I often wish he could have lived a few more years. I much prefer his 9th to Toscanini's.
Oy, will have to dig it out...It's a good one. Who's on the Philips? Didn't the Beaux Arts record for them (or whoever used to own the label)?Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

I didn't know about Handel (seriously - I don't bother to find out the sexual preferences of composers - for some strange reason I think it doesn't matter) but IIRC Bernstein played for both teams, so you guys only get half of him.Originally posted by Boris Godunov

Furtwangler....Originally posted by Boris Godunov
No other choice for a digital recording!
Now, in mono I have Furtwangler and the BPO--nearly half again as slow as Kleiber, but also unbeatable feeling.
ACK!
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!Comment
