This is a reissue.  I've always liked it.  Good sound, and the French
orchestra fits the idiom.  On the downside, Plasson can be prosaic.  You
may want more bite and drive.  I haven't heard Baudo in a while, but
that's supposed to be good.  If you're curious, I could check it out
again.

Karajan on 2 and 3 is classic, if maybe a bit too plus.  But it's worth
hearing.
