Posted by André Purenne But it's good you mentioned the Palixa Zurich 8th: although it's been praised to the skies by some reviewers, it's no match for either the Cologne or Vienna versions. This time around Böhm's conducting sounds impatient and the orchestra insufficiently upholstered, with strident brass. It's fully 8 minutes shorter than the VPO and some 2 minutes shorter than the Cologne.

Right, I was referring to the VPO on DG. It's available either as a single mid-price issue on Galleria or as a double budget-priced French DG 'Double' in harness with his equally desirable 7th.
