I still have that long article which "outs" some of the orchestras and
conductors on these cheapo labels.  It claims that, in this instance,
"Albert Lizzio" masks Carl Melles and the Austrian Radio Symphony.
However, Lani Spahr (whose opinion I would accept) insists that the
recording by Melles is completely different.  Just to thicken the plot
further, Lani identifies the Bruckner 2nd on Vienna Masters that is
credited to Hans Zanotelli as the same performance as that credited to
"Lizzio".  I *think* Hans Zanotelli is real so it may be him on the
"Lizzio".

Yes.  Let me know if you would like the article to which I am referring.
I offer it every few months and is most interesting.
