  Caveat emptor! March 30, 2004 19 out of 21 found this review helpful
These are the notorious monaural recordings from the early 1950s with a scrappy-sounding VSO. One of these symphonies was recorded in part under a different conductor without Otto Klemperer's knowledge, then released under Klemperer's name. This incident caused Klemperer to terminate his contract with Vox. These recordings are not a patch on the stereo versions made in 1960 by EMI with the Philharmonia at its peak--at the time, it was at least the equal of any orchestra in the world--and produced by Walter Legge and Walter Jellinek. Proceed with caution!
