If you want broad and expansive consider Barbirolli/Vienna
Philharmonic/EMI; Jochum/London Philharmonic/EMI (though you said you
didn't like Jochum with the BPO, so maybe not--I don't know that BPO
recording); maybe Sanderling/Dresden/Eurodisc; I would call Boult/EMI
somewhat on the broad side, though maybe more autumnal than broad, I guess;
one I've always wondered about might be a possibility if you can hear it
first (I haven't, so I'm speculating)--Giulini/EMI. Certainly, there is
the early Karajan DG set (not the later one). Also Bernstein/Vienna/DG:
I'm not that fond of it because of its idiocyncracies (I liked the Fourth
when I heard it being recording, but that's live). I don't know if I'd
call it broad and expansive, but Solti/Chicago/London is a very good set.
