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

He also did French and Russian music very well too IMHO

Song of the Nightingale, Isle of the Dead, Rapsodie espagnole, Alborada del gracioso, Scheherazade (by general consent - I know Amphissa doesn't agree), Colas Breugnon Overture, Night on Bare Mountain, Marche slave, Rachmaninov First Concerto with Janis, Tchaikovsky First with Gilels. . .

Even that notorious Rachmaninoff Second Piano Concerto recording with Rubinstein (which led to their parting of the ways) is an outstanding example of the dynamism that Rubinstein was capable of when goaded on by Reiner's sadism. (Of course, Reiner even had the chutzpah to try the same kind of one-upmanship with Rachmaninoff himself, who quickly put Rat-Eyes in his place - LOL!)

And, while I'm thinking about it, how about Spanish music (Three-cornered Hat, El Amor Brujo with Price, etc.), or a couple of Beethoven symphonies (the Sixth and Ninth in particular)? I think Reiner was generally outstanding in a pretty broad swath of repertoire, even outside his axis of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Germanic and Hungarian composers
