    One of my favourite classical pieces; I have around 15 versions, including another Marriner. I have to add this one to the pile one day.

    RCA Victor Red Seal released Irving in excerpts from Giselle with the Covent Garden or. Apparently he did a series of such records of ballet standards; I also have him with the same orchestra in excerpts from Coppelia and with the Philharmonia in excerpts from Sylvia, both also on Victor. All are mono LPs--LM 1092, 2035, and 2036, respectively--and the Giselle is also on a set of four 45s, WDM 1397.

    Just listened to Kubelik's Beethoven Symphony No. 1 with the London Symphony. I thought it was very engaging.

    It's an interesting cycle.

    Have you listened to his sixth from that box yet? It's a somewhat deliberate reading, of interest as an alternative to some of the other interpretations I have.

    Who's your favorite 6th, Tony? Mine are Boehm and Walter.

    It's a favourite symphony of mine, which doesn't seem to be common; so my favourite is also not widely admired, the 1977 Karajan. I also like Giulini with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

    Cool. I have the '77 HvK, I should revisit it. I don't like his '63 6th at all.

    By the way, the 6th is my favorite Beethoven symphony and one of my favorite symphonies overall.
