I would be interested to read your thoughts on that one Darren. Do you have much conducted by Mengelberg?

The vintage sonics were problematic for me to be honest. Also the reading was too slow for my tastes. It is the only Mengelberg I own and I will probably focus on other conductors in preference over him...
