You are right that this one is hard to screw up.  I'm sure that other
list members will point out if there is one out there.  If I was to pick
an all around favoirte I would go with Kubelik which unfortunately was
only available as part of a complete cycle when I bought it.  I am aware of
3 different Haitink recordings but it is the 3rd BPO that own and I think
it is quite good also.  I would be curious to hear the live BPO that you
referred to earlier.  The Barbirolli is also enjoyable but I remember it
having a few fluffs (it is a live recording) and a finale that drags.

Two recordings that I would like to pick up are Britten's and Boulez's.
