Monumental. Shades of being "granitic" in the first and last movements like Klemperer. But then these long seemingly endless legato and intense singing lines (the second movement) make this a unique interpretation. Even the 1941, 42-43, and Philharmonia versions pale in comparison.Also the version of the Piano concerto is amongst the very great. Many thanks for this post. Hari
