the Rotterdam (Pentatone) is better than the SF. Performance and sound. Not my favorite but a good and vigorous one.

  Speaking of Edo de Waart have you heard his Also sprach Zarathustra with the Radio Philharmonic on Exton? What do you think?
  
  Also, when you say "better than SF" what San Francisco disc or you referring to?

    De Waart recorded the Saint-Saens with the SFS and Jean Guillou as organist for Philips, and it was briefly available on CD. (I like this performance a lot, too--better than the Rotterdam one.) It was done at the same time (April 1984) as the Telarc Jongen CD (and solo Michael Murray CD) to mark the installation of the new Ruffati organ at Davies.

      Jean Guillou was the featured organist again in SS No. 3, this time on Dorian label with Mata/Dallas Symphony recorded in their brand new orchestra hall, the sound of this CD is superb if you can tolerate Mata's slow tempos which is not easy after hearing Munch on RCA, to me the benchmark performance.

      I have Edo de Waart with the San Francisco Symphony on CD. I think I bought it more than 15 years ago and it's still one of my favourites.
