Listened to the whole 90th anniversary box set. I thought the Brahms was exceptional, up there with Wand's cycle w/ NDR symph. The Schumann was also exceptional, and Beethoven pretty darn good.
But only rn hearing to Bruckner's 3rd w/ London Philharmonic. Blow away.

Listening rn to his live recording of the 3rd with the London Philharmonic (not in that set with Saarbrücken or the 90th anniversary box set). Just amazing.
