I'm not going to be much help because I haven't listened to this in
years.  I remember him to be uneven, always on the heavy side.  I have
never cared for the Brandenburgs, but they're still around.  I think I
tend to like his Vienna Philharmonic recordings more than anything else,
but I do have some of his Bach that's okay.  As I said, not much help
other than to say he's not been my first choice in much.
