You may not be aware that Boult recorded the entire symphonic cycle which I can recommend if you were interested....

It is not a set that was mentioned on my recent thread on the same subject so I would be interested in your thoughts.

Dvorak: Violin Concerto....
Very stylish and elegant playing especially in the beautiful slow movement.

This is perhaps Bernstein´s finest opera recording. He didn´t want Janowitz as Leonore, he preferred Gwyneth Jones, but with that hair-raising vibrato I couldn´t agree. Janowitz gives a very dedicated and beautiful sung Leonore, and she doesn´t lack power. Everybody else is equally good.fergus wrote:Beethoven: Fidelio - Bernstein....

You are far more eloquent and erudite than I am Pepe at explaining these things but I can warmly second the recommendation.
