It never crossed my mind that there could be another version of Lipatti and
Schumann on the market.  And your suggestion looked to me to be THE answer
to my question.  I immediatly delved deep in things from the past and
finally found the record.  To my surprise it is still complete, including
its transparant plastic hose and the sticker of the - in those days - best
classical record shop in town (long since bankrupt).  Rather to my surprise
it is the version with Karajan.  I must follow Robert's advise an buy the
latest remastering!  Many thanks for your suggestion!
