- Beethoven, Symphony No.5, Le Concert des Nations cond. by Jordi Savall, 2019 As a Beethoven conductor, Savall was the equal of Mengelberg, Furtwängler & Klemperer, I think. This powerful and exciting performance, historically informed and on period instruments, is astonishing. #classicalmusic

- Furtwängler's Bruckner interpretations are special. The sound of these particular recordings is so-so. Listenable, with some coughing and other audience noise. I recommend them only to those who can tolerate the sonic limitations of historical recordings from the 1930s and 1940s. #classicalmusic
- #BrucknerRules Another great performance in gorgeous sound from this terrific Bruckner box: -Bruckner, Symphony No. 4, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig conducted by Herbert Blomstedt, live, 2010 #classicalmusic
