  . . . of this particular piece. Therefore, I tend to pick because of sound quality - which is truly fabulous in the two recordings I have pictured. (But remember, I listen in MCh - which usually translates into fabulous 2Ch sound, although not always.) BTW, Fischer, as you might expect, is about a minute faster than Janowski.
  
  In the case of the old Walter performance, the piece IS suited to the con amore style of the conductor's later years. (Remember Toscanini's comment about Walter: "Whenever he comes to something beautiful, he melts.")
  
  And although the Solti recording is of Wagner's original chamber scoring, I like the full orchestra versions better. I just recommended the Solti in case you were interested in the original.
