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

No - My opinion is a priori at this point! ;-)

But your Europadisc link is not so much to a review, but rather to publicity about the disc, including self-serving quote from the conductor himself. The brief Guardian review indicates that the Roth performance is a "guide" to the music. Nothing to get too excited about as I read it. In addition, I see from a MWI review that the recording was patched together from performances at no less than SIX different locations, and I just don't see how one is going to get a coherent recording with the engineering team's use of a multi-environmental approach like this.

OTOH, I do respect your own opinion - which means I'll probably have to acquire this release if only to confirm my a priori opinion about it! ;-)

BTW, regarding the references to the Monteux/LSO recording in Dave's review and in a couple of posts on this thread, Music Web International claims that the reissue on the Praga label (I guess derived from a commercial open reel tape - somewhat like HDTT does) is actually (and amazingly) superior to Decca's own reissues of this performance. Hard to believe, but they claim that the Czech remastering snake oil works so well that the performance itself seems up on a higher plane. So I guess that's another one I'll have to investigate! ;-)
