Haven't heard. I've read mostly favorable to enthusiastic comments and reviews for it...the more casual ones stating that this is the Thielemann disc to have. That said, these works are well-represented. To name a few...Reiner, HvK, Kempe for both, and Previn (VPO) and Mehta (LAPO) for Alpine.

My personal preference is Kempe(EMI)...and by the way I just noticed that Berkshire is offereing is offering those three disk Kempe Strauss boxes at a very nice price. They are long out of print here in the US.

Compliment. Considerably better, according to them.
I have no urge to seek others. I'll be staying with Mehta for Alpine, and HvK for Rosenkavalier.

Only in the 3 disk format; the 9 CD EMI Kempe Strauss box is easily available.

I don't agree at all. This is one of the finest Alpine Symphonies on record

My favorite for the Alpine is still the Haitink and the Concertgebouw. But, I also have:
Blomstedt/San Francisco Symph. Mehta/Berlin Philharmonic. I just think that Haitink projects the scale and grandeur of the piece better.

Wouldn't that have been something? Incidentally, is there another CSO recording of Alpine other than Barenboim's?
