It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Um, here’s what I read …

C.B.,

Your earlier post says “Exception: Klemperer's second version with the old Philharmonia. Great performance, but it's only available on LP--EMI for some strange reason chose to release the first version on CD.”

I read that as saying that the BETTER example of the trumpet/horn balance is found on the 1962, not the 1956.

While I have not knowingly heard the first performance and thus cannot make a comparison, I can say that the ’62 has a very nicely present trumpet voice in that theme statement (and later in the movement, as well).

Additionally, I have to say that I love Klemperer's treatment of the woodwinds generally. This is also apparent in the ’62 Mozart Nº 39.

Yours,
