I also loved the Munch/Schubert, which has terrific sound quality and a really fleet and crackling performance of the 9th. Reiner's 'Spain' was great as well. And I didn't find the
'Don Quixote' bad-sounding at all; quite the opposite, in fact. It's the best I've ever heard this recording sound--very open and three-dimensional. The 'Don Juan', however, does sound cloudy and congested--nowhere near what the RCA engineers achieved in Chicago several months earlier with the 'Heldenleben' and 'Zarathustra'.Russell
