Incredible effort, EA

I have the following recordings:
VPO, Furtwangler
VPO, Kleiber
VPO, Schmidt-Isserstedt
VPO, Bohm
VPO, Bernstein,
VPO, Abbado
Is there a pattern here? (I also have Leipzig Gewandhaus, Masur, but I've never listened to it, the reason being that the only non-VPO performance I've heard was one I was actually playing in, and I was frustrated in not being able to play on a Viennese oboe in the big solo in the finale.)Last edited by Eine Alpensinfonie; 23-01-15, 14:56.Comment

It would take 147 hours just to listen to all the recordings - plus a bit more for the multiple Furtwanglers, Karajans, Klemperers...Originally posted by aeolium View PostComment

I have accumulated ten versions of this symphony on LP over the years, including two not on the list, presumably because they arent available on CD:
BBCSO cond. Colin Davis (Philips 1970)
VPO cond. Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt (Decca 1966)
I'm surprised the Schmidt-Isserstedt version isnt available, it was quite highly regarded at the time.Comment
