Teldec seen to be reissuing many recordings at mid-price and my >bet is that this one will be in a future batch. The sound is impressive (as usual in Teldec), but personally I don't like much this version, especially the last movement. It's a bit floppy and graceless. If you are waiting for Teldec reissues, wait for Berlioz's Requiem (Robert Shaw, Atlanta Symphony and Chorus). If I don't remember bad, it comes with the prologue of Boito's "Mefistofele", sung by John Cheek. That's some recording!!!. Regards Pablo Massa [log in to unmask]
