I love it. Sounds great too.

I am a fan of Rafael Kubelik's conducting in general.

I have some of these works on lp. Some Dgg lp's from a certain era sound strange, no depth, no soundstage, very thin ... this recording/pressing is an example of that phenomenon. EDIT: maybe the best way to descibe it is lifeless.

I bet it sounds better on cd though ...

I'm familiar with what you're describing with some DG vinyl. 

I think the CD issue does indeed sound better.
