Well, I'll offer the first Jochum (1949 Hamburg) which is his only
recording of the Haas edition; Horenstein's 1954 Vox (first recording
of the Nowak) and his 1970 live Prom performance (BBC Legends), JH's
only performance of the Haas.
And of course the 1944 Furtwaengler.

I'd personally take Tintner before the Inbal, even more I'd take the
old NYO Canada/Tintner Jubal LP, probably recorded just before the Inbal
too, which would make it the premiere recording. I don't know the Russel
Davies.

BTW M. le Pedant points out that that is presumably *Klaus* Tennstedt. I
don't know his brother Karl.
