He also likes the Yoel Levi at no. 27. I agree with him, Mars is spectacular but he goes a bit off the boil after that.

I've just ordered the Ozawa (at no. 2) which, despite being rare, I found for 7 quid from an Amazon Marketplace merchant.

I need to listen to the Dutoit properly - seems to be quite rare on vinyl for some reason ...

My Previn down at 35 - must be rubbish then ...  |

I still rate the Previn. I dislike the Rattle.

Thanks for the pointer
Think it is better than the first I heard.
Classic classical for me- good in parts
