Title: magnificent
Review: I really bought this for zarathustra. I have Herbert von Karajan's DG rendition and wanted to hear this recording since it has always been put proferred as "definitive." Was it worth the hype?Definitely. This is a truly amazing performance. Nonetheless, since shelf/electronic space permit...I'll return to both, eagerly. I think they're both top of class, but for slightly different reasons. There are sufficient differences in nuance and detail that I wouldn't want to be without either one.Let me also say however, that in matters of sonics, the Reiner Living Stereo SACD has HVK beat hands down...even after at least one remastering of the 1974 Karajan recording. I was floored (and I was in the car, so on the floor of my car) by the clarity and amount of detail on this 1954 recording by Reiner. It is truly demonstration class.I am not as immersed in Heldenleben so I'll leave other to comment on this.
