Kabasta is wonderful and they have 2 other CDs of him. Although Bruckner is presented on both albums but it defiantly a very-very strong buy.  BTW, all of the Kabasta’s CDs are way better then the LP releases.  The wartime recordings of Hans Hotter are very-very good and surprisingly very high quality. The Gieseking solo CD did not warm me as much as some of his other recordings.  Also stay away from Scherchen doing Tchaikovsky and tScherchen  with his he literature music, both of them spectacularly boring… As the rest … they do look very attractive and if you had not crew my life with FM….
