I have now had a chance to listen to, and review, that MTT "Heldenleben" and I will add my findings to the survey. I find it mightily impressive in parts - especially the sonority of the LSO's playing, but also just a little lacking in tension, even slightly lacklustre, at others. It is certainly good but does not displace my favourite versions.
You miss MTT's LSO version on Columbia/Sony. Perhaps the best since Reiner's but in better sound. Give it a spin.
