Yeah, I count about 35 or so right now. I like mine a lot, and can't wait
to hear other opinions.
I have (gasp) the Karajan on EMI, some recent re-issue CD coupled with
Music for Strings, Percussion & Celeste (awesome...awesome awesome awesome)
and Koda'ly Hary Janos Suite (impressive and surprising). IIRC there is
also a rehearsal sequence of some kind.
So, I _warmly_ reccomend the HvK. I must admit I like Music for Str,
Perc & Cel a *bit* better, but I am told I will flip-flop when I get a bit
older. Something about being less gimmicky...I've never agreed...so far.
I've never heard the Bernstein either, but it has been reccomended to me.
Bob K.
