I think so too.  Kempe was one of the greatest especially when thinking
of german music.  On the same label there is the complete Brahms symphonies
which I consider most satisfying.  The second and the four are older
mono recordings but that doesn't matter or does it? Further there is
a marvellous recording of Wagner's Lohengrin on EMI, the best you
can imagine.  This is all I know.  I am also waiting for further
recommendations.
