In Reply to: Bruno Walter's Pastorale: a brief appreciation posted by danj on August 15, 2007 at 14:04:00:
I much prefer Monteux, Bohm and Furtwangler over Walter. The latter has what I feel are some moments where the phrasing slackens excessively (I only have the performance on re-mastered CD and SACD: I wonder if it sounds differently on LP?).
I do however enjoy the performance and would rank it in the second tier with the Reiner. Need to hear the Scherchen and Steinberg.
The LP covers pictured below are gorgeous. Thank you.
