          Yes Anna, that's the very one I have I assume it's simply been re-badged with DECCA and included, as is, in the box vinsanto's bought.

          If you can pick up that disc for £3 something used, I would earnestly recommend it!

                Ooo! Do tell all when you've listened! (When you hear the opening of No 39, think of your devoted old Caliban... )

                  Devoted? You? Old? I shall have to take Counsel's opinion on that You'll be inviting me to meet the Aged Parent next! I will report back.

                      Zaslaw also provided all the marvellous, extensive notes in each of Hogwood's boxes in his Mozart cycle. Were they all retained for the new budget box reissue, I wonder? It would be sad if not.

                            Thank you for your interesting and informative response to my question about pulse.

                            The Grove search also takes one to this sentence in the article (by Noel Goodwin) on Eugen Jochum: 'His notably spacious, romantic approach to Bruckner, with liberal tempo variations within movements, was tempered by a keen feeling for underlying pulse.' This is the kind of usage I've previously come across and I take it refers to a broader concept of, say, a whole movement in Bruckner, not dissimilar to references (in posts following yours) to Sibelius. Should I infer that there can be a single underlying pulse to, say, the whole of the slow movement of Bruckner 8?

                              Not sure i liked the Norrington all that much . The Boult is a recording of which I am very fond and it sounded very well in comparison. It is a mark of the magificence of the Pastoral with which it is coupled that it sounds a bit of an anticlimax on the CD .I must listen to it on its own .

                              I still like Mackerras and the early Klemperer .

                                Tell me more about this "new budget box reissue". The most recent I can seem to find via Google, etc. is the 1997 issue. That has/had 22 pages of notes by Zaslaw, plus a concordance, etc.
