Thanks in advance. For a low price the Dohnanyi is certainly worth getting, if nothing else just for the spectacular orchestral playing and sound recording. I have 3 and 4 and I enjoy the 4 very much and 3 less so; mainly because Dohnanyi takes the slow (chorale-like) movement too fast. I haven't heard the Dvorak recording, but I am not too big a fan of Pamela Frank. Ulvi [log in to unmask]
