On the spot, the 8'th and the fifth (7'th?) I think, on Dorian with Andy
Litton are in the "never mind" category of DSCH recordings, musically
mute.

I wouldent be surpriced, Flor has been gaining on me, his Martinu
symphonies (RCA/nla?) are fine, and he conducted Beethovens 5'th & 7'th
with the Swedish Radio Symphony the other week, and despite my HIP
preferences I found his interpretations well judged.
