HvK, LvB symphonies, HIP etc: I must confess to having accidentally muddied the waters here. It was Bill Hong in a post dated 10 March, not Dave, who raised the subject of Herbie's multiple Beethoven symphony recordings. Dave's contribution was limited to answering Bill's question about the number of them and then - understandably - not understanding what I was going on about. I should have been more careful in reading the post I was replying to, and I apologise to Dave for having got him involved. The mistake was mine and mine alone. >All clear now? [No, but with every post your viewpoint does become more >plain to see. -Dave] I'm so glad. (and still under the late-60's Cream influence) Somehow I can't be quite sure that Dave's view of my viewpoint matches mine. But I will spare weary listmembers the trouble of going through it all again. Ian Crisp [log in to unmask]
