What kind of a Szellian are you?  :-\

I know, I know...but I was trying to get the most bang for a buck, and with the Kubelik disc we get two great symphonies.

Okay, hornteacher makes the Kubelik redundant. So, my third pick: Dvorak Cello Concerto, Szell, Fournier, Berlin Phil.

Got it--let's stick with CDs but my interest is piqued in the Jacobs/BBC you mention.

I can't imagine being on a desert island without the Janowitz/Karajan Vier Letze Lieder. Just gorgeous.

I also would be heartbroken not to have anything with Kirsten Flagstad singing on it. Even some old highlights cd.
