The Klemperer is nearly an HOUR longer! I don't think so. I will go back and check again, but both the Klemperer and the Gardiner are on three discs and as I recall the Klemperer clocks in at about 9-10 minutes longer than JEG. Again I have to double check that, but I hardly think that there is an extra hour. The work on the average takes about 2 and 1/2 hours to perform. Kevin Sutton
