OOPS!!!! Did I really write that? I seem to have praised a recording I
haven't even heard. The recording I actually was thinking of is this one,
which I heard long ago, and confused with the above when I checked for the
details: The recording I actually had in mind is the 1956 Klemperer with
BRSO and Elisabeth Lindermeier on ARKADIA. I think you can see why I
confused them, and I apologize to those listmembers who already rushed out
to Tower and bought the mis-suggested recording. I used to boast with that
I have never bought a recording I already had, what some collectors by and
then does, but I guess I was close to now. My apologizes, and don't forget
to check this recording out.
