And I agree about Nanut. I have a big bunch Grand Gala CDs (los cheapos)
with lots of Nanut conducting Radio Symphony Orchestra Ljubljana, and I
would say too for that price it is good stuff.

And not only Mahler. I have a tremendeous Bruckner 2 on Pilz conducted by
Alberto Lizzio, obviously a ghost. Does anybody know who this Lizzio really
is (in this set)? The symphony is brieftakenly taken after all, and I
warmly recommend it!

Is this Petroschoff a ghost too?
