. . . and beauty at all costs. It's possible that we may be after different things in this music - I did give it only 4 stars for performance however, so perhaps we're not so far apart in our reactions.

Chris, in AA terms this is an old thread, but by chance can you tell me which 9th you think is the out and out 5+ star combination of performance AND sound quality?
I'm not Chris, but I want to jump in: I find the Gilbert performance tops in sound quality, heartfelt, beautifully played. The Fischer performance in surround sound has a more distant reproduction of the orchestra that I find tends to obscure a lot of the detail, in contrast to the Gilbert, which has plenty of detailed without sounding excessively multi-miked.
To me, the Fischer performance was like a well-played runthrough. Luckily, I borrowed it from a library and didn't have to pay for it.
Going down a few notches in sound quality, the Haitink/ACO live performance from the OOP Kerstmatinees box set is phenomenal, and with better sound than the Phillips commercial recording. I know it was issued on DVD as well--never ran across that.
