It is still in print.

I don't think so. I will go back and check again, but both the Klemperer
and the Gardiner are on three discs and as I recall the Klemperer clocks in
at about 9-10 minutes longer than JEG. Again I have to double check that,
but I hardly think that there is an extra hour. The work on the average
takes about 2 and 1/2 hours to perform.
