In Reply to: impressive review posted by docw on May 11, 2007 at 14:29:24:
After digging into the vault I found a cassette of a live concert recording of Szell conducting the Chicago Symphony, probably from the 60's. It does not have the exaggerated staccatos that the Cleveland recording has, and the retard on the final climax of the first movement is not as big, so I like it better.
