Hi DA,

He sure seems enthusiastic about this new Zinman one !! Please let us know your thoughts when you get the M1 too !!

I must say i am quite surprised (and pleasantly at that) by the SQ of the Klemperer, compared, say to Karajan's beethoven cycle of the same period (63, right ?)... The background hiss was only really a distraction on the choral part in the last movement...otherwise, the rest of the piece went through ok. I can live with that
For my impressions on the Klemperer, i'll leave it for a bit...the word that springs to mind is "more menacing" than the bertini's version (the only other M2 i have ...until the Zinman maybe
), but i'll give it another few listens before judging.
