Right after I posted my recommendations above, I thought, "Oops, there are a lot of bad, bad CD reissues of those Krips performances floating around!" So I'm glad you mentioned that listeners should avoid the knockoffs! For CD, I was referring specifically to the Everest/Omega 20-bit reissues, supervised by Seymour Solomon. (Who knows, maybe some of these performances will make it to the Classic Records HDAD (DVD-A and CD) reissues!)Another interesting thing, the Kempe / Munich Philharmonic (at the time, the fourth best orchestra in Munich!) recordings were made in a Munich beer hall in qudraphonic sound. I'd love to hear these performances reissued on a hi-rez (SACD or DVD-A) medium. Also, I love the singing of Kempe's soprano in the Ninth Symphony, Ursula Koszut, who manages Beethoven's ungrateful vocal writing extremely well.
