Thanks for your reply, Seán. I'll certainly take your advice!
There are Klemperer recordings that don't catch me (like his mangling of the Finale of Bruckner 8) but he's drawn me into a few works I thought I'd never take to - Dvorak 9th, for instance. So with the commendations here, I feel highly optimistic about the adventure. If I don't report back before the week's out, send out a search party! :D
