According to Decca I have just listened to Kubelik directing Dvorak's Symphony No. V, or am I missing something here?.....

Antique numeration.

The sequential numbering of his symphonies has also been confused: (a) they were initially numbered by order of publication, not composition; (b) the first four symphonies to be composed were published after the last five; and (c) the last five symphonies were not published in order of composition. This explains why, for example, the New World Symphony was originally published as No. 5, was later known as No. 8, and definitively renumbered as No. 9 in the critical editions published in the 1950s.

Another 30 minutes from Scene II of Haitink's Rheingold.

[asin]B000002RRC[/asin]

In the first scene the lovely rhinemaidens mercilessly teased and mocked horny Alberich. He renounced love and made off with their gold. Here in the second scene Wotan is extolling his new castle, his wife is complaining he overpaid to the tune of her sister. The giants shows up and submit the invoice and Wotan doesn't want to pay. He just remembered he needs his wife's sister's apples. I paused just as Loge shows up to fix the deal.

Borrowing to build a big tower, then defaults. This Wotan seems a bit like Donald Trump.
