The first one was a recording of concert performance in the Netherlands, which was consequently released by the Dutch KRO broadcasting company. I didn't mention it as I never imagined it would go beyond the border. It is a good recording, IMHO at least as good as Ozawa's, but absolutely surpassed by Nagano's DG. regards, Jos
