Well, it sat there for weeks because I couldn't bear to continue listening to Rosenkavalier......I switched to the Beethoven Opus 130 project (you know, should it be played with the Great Fugue as the finale or with the revised finale). No views yet, but the music is vastly preferable, to these ears.
Right now I am using the Yale Quartet recordings of Op. 130 and 133. They recorded Op. 130 with the revised finale.
Maybe one day I will get back to Rosenkavalier......

There's nothing wrong with simply skipping ahead to the good parts. : )
I'm enjoying Arabella quite a bit these days. So nice to have something new to discover.
My LP pusher has recordings conducted by those 3.....
The LP also has Don Juan and Munchen. Mine is a Red Seal and has surprisingly good sound.
Besides, with the addition of an umlaut, a city in Bavaria?
There is also a Previn on DG, with much different coupling.
. . . sometimes cause the servers here on this site some headaches, so I've dispensed with the accent grave, the hacek, the accent aigu, the umlaut, etc., when I've posted here for the last year or so. In answer to your question, Strauss's Munchen (sorry for the missing umlaut!) is a piece d'occasion (sorry for the missing accent grave!) written, as you might imagine, for the city of Munich. Munich returned the favor by naming one of the city streets, "Richard-Strauss-Straße", and everybody was happy! ;-)
So it is a real work? How about that? I thought maybe there was a spellcheck error for MacBeth!
Maybe the LP is hard to find now. No pic of cover, but......
Amazon didn't quite get the color correct on this small image of the original issue. (The background should be blue for one thing.)
There was a UK reissue in 1975 which does not want to copy over to this page right now. This reissue had a picture of Previn in the foreground with some "Yellow Submarine" art in the background - link below:

. . . including Jarvi (sorry about the missing umlaut) / Detroit on Chandos.
(This poster predates the composition of the Munich Waltz by about 30 years.)
Previn doubled the horns on that recording - what a splendid sound!Of the original three that were mentioned, I'm not sure which Dorati recording was being referred to, and I've never heard the Rudolf recording, but I have heard the Krips recording (on EMI) and that one is very well done too (also from the engineering perspective).

Once for Mercury, once on a digital Decca (I think).
Actually, I guess he recorded it back in the days of 78's with the "Robin Hood Dell" Orchestra (a nom de guerre of the Philadelphia Orchestra) too. Originally, I was thinking just of the two recordings you referred to.
