Don't know the Haitink. The Previn 2nd I have good memories of, ditto the
Cello Concerto. The real treasure is the Haendel. I have always loved
that recording. She is a very interesting violinist. Her Elgar VC is
stunning--IF you like the slow tempos, which I do very much, at least the
way she plays them.
