Do you own Kertesz's performance of Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle, Andy? If not, then you should definitely check it out:

Listening to Piano Concerto No. 2. This whole set is superb. I still love the Roge/Dutoit set, but this set is slowly edging its' way up to the number one slot.

[Sadko]

Mendelssohn

Symphonies #3 'Scottish' & #4 'Italian'

Philharmonia Orchestra
Klemperer

EDIT: Ahh! Wonderful! As Sarge pointed out, he takes his time, here too, but only to let the music sing and unfold organically.

One of my absolute favourite discs of anything.

A fine traversal, though I'm not sure it will displace Hantai or Frisch as my all time favorites. Time will tell...
