I will have to listen to the Harnoncourt RCO London Symphonies again.
You probably do not remember them because you would automatically reach for your Abbado set; your go to set for these works I warrant. I would have the same issue with some of my favourite music; I would have to consciously decide to play something other than my normal go to choice.

Yes it is. In fact the Maazel / VPO cycle is very good indeed.
