In Reply to: Put aside any reservations you've had about Haitink in the past... posted by Russell on December 8, 2006 at 19:35:15:
With apologies (I hadn't yet read your post here), see my comments below. I LOVE Haitink (solid and direct...not "in fashion" these days), but I cannot imagine he has anything more to say than Zinman, Harnoncourt, Gardiner, Norrington, Bruggen, Furtwangler, Kleiber(s), Klemperer, Reiner -- all those others many folks already have.In other words, probably a good recommendation for a first or second set. Now, the SACD folks (of course) have limited choices, so they are slobbering!:-)
