Back in the 70's, Krips's recordings, if available, were on budget records. Additionally, the critics of the day would tend to praise the latest multi-miked, multi-channel recordings are the greatest [although they did also tend to tip their collective hat to Toscanini - curiously, that's rarely done today].
Thus, we tended to regard Krips as a budget-grade mediocrity. Still, it was his Tchaikovsky 5th [with the LSO?] by which I came to know the work.
Today, I think he was an excellent artist, undeservedly neglected just as Horenstein was - and there was a great, great conductor.
Indeed, had Horenstein - or Krips, for that matter - been given the opportunities that true mediocrities such as Leinsdorf, Maazel, Ozawa, had - what wonderful performances would've been left to us.

Krips conducting Schubert's 9th Symphony and Schumann's 1st and 4th on Decca are both collectable and expensive in wide-band form.
