Also note that while Haitink’s early Concertgebouw performance employs the 1878 Oeser edition, his later performances (and his VPO recording) employ the 1877...
... Thanks - now I will know where to look for such things in the future: the volume of facts and information is staggering! This recording is of my favourites...
In a personal email to Artiumbremen a few months ago I asked him, among other questions, whether or not he believed in the assertion that the first theme of...
