I would agree that Harnoncourt is not a good recommendation, but "abysmal"?
Harnoncourt's series was a pioneering one which has been overcome by more
recent recordings; that's understandable. However, I will always have fond
memories.
Of other "older" recordings mentioned so far, I do think very well
of Karl Richter. I have two Archiv recordings of his, and they always
satisfy. I haven't played them for a long time - think I'll try to locate
them and enjoy their pleasures.
