I have not noticed any mention of the Harnoncourt interpretations in this
discussion.  I obtained the 3rd and 4th on clearance from Columbia House.
I've not made any comparisons on the 3rd; but the 4th, using the original
1841 version, sounds pretty anemic compared to my Szell LP.  I realize that
the Chamber Orchestra of Europe issn't the Cleveland, but the excitement
just isn't there.  Is anyone else familiar with this performance?
