I was going to mention those two but not being a Korngold authority (or any kind of authority for that matter) in face of the expected reverence for Kempe I resisted. But since you have, let me add that the Downes version on Chandos is very enjoyable and the recording is unlike much of earlier Chandos. Great clarity with a good hall prospective. Previn is a bit larger in scale, more forward, and loses some of the sense of hall. But its very enjoyable and I much preferred its disc mate. I could live with either (I guess I do). Some day I'll get a copy of Kempe's.
FWIW.
