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.
