I agree with you. I definitely think that Previn's VW always is better
than Slatkin's. I just meant that no 5 is one of Slatkin's better
achievements. If you can live with the sound quality of VW's own recording
of #5, it might be a winner....

As I stated before, I'm very happy with my Previn set. I just mentioned
what I've compared with.

I've changed my mind. When I listened to "Antartica" yesterday without
any interruptions or external disturbances (the rest of the family is on
ooliday), it sounded as good as it did six years ago.
