I know of two recorded Goodall B8s. One is from a 1969 Prom (which I was
at) one from a studio performance, I believe probably Maida Vale. This is
a stiffer and rather cautiously received performance.
The RAH, which I'm also presuming is what they're releasing, is a different
performance, one friend described it as the "most dogged" he'd ever heard,
which struck me as a good description.
The Wesenddonck's are also very good, although neither Wanger nor lieder
are top of my personal hit parade. RG also did a Prom Bruckner 7 in the
1960s, I'd love to hear that too.
