I did not mention Lupu's recording then, I do not think I knew it.

A lovely read Don, thank you. I am particularly fond of Kempff's and Clara Haskil's recordings of this wonderful work.DonKC wrote:http://donaldopato.blogspot.com/2007/01/inspired.html

I know that it was not unusual for a recording such as this in the early 1980s but featured on that album were Rene Jacobs, William Christie, Christopher Coin and Konrad Junghanel!!!

Yes Don. it is an unusual one. One knows however what one will get with Klemperer; weighty, beefy and studied renditions and so it was with these wonderful symphonies. The Finale of the sixth was lovely.
