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

Two for further consideration

71.232.119.69

Adrian Aeschbacher, Furtwaengler, BPO (December 1943) This is wild, tempi all over the place at first, so much so you'd hardly guess it's Wilhelm -- but then it settles down, somewhat. The Andante is extraordinarily rapt. I was once asked by the dread Romy which performance I thought best; when I indicated this one, he heartily agreed. (Aeschbacher studied with Schnabel, by the way.) This was one of the very last concerts given at Philharmonic Hall, which we bombed to smithereens three weeks later.

Dubrovka Tomsic, Anton Nanut, Ljubljana SO. This Slovenian lady is no headliner, but whenever she comes to town I try to go. The recording features exquisite playing with long steady lines that defy the bars, but the often reliable Ljubljana forces this time mar the whole. Still worth a listen, and it's an el cheapo CD.

P.A.

The link below is for the Aeschbacher, but the copy I own is on TAHRA and this is not it.
