To the chorus of nays, I'll add a mild yea. I've heard only a
handful of his recordings, but I value the ones I have.
I have greatly enjoyed his Tchaikovsky, especially the Manfred (with
the Philharmonia on EMI) which I would rank among the best I know.
His Strauss symphonic poems (Berlin Philharmonic on Philips) are very
good, and quite exciting. The recordings he made with Philadelphia of
Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade and the Respighi tone poems are generally
considered worthwhile, if perhaps not among the very best available.
But, absolutely nothing off the beaten path....
