YES, I'm going to cull:
- Mozart / Requiem / Vienna Philh (etc) / Karl Böhm / 1971
DG 413 553-2
Reason: boring, bloated (even ghastly, according to some opinions stated in this forum)
- Mozart / Symphonies 35-41 / Berlin Philh / Karl Böhm / 1962, 1966
Reason: rather dull on the whole, not elegant
DG 447 416-2 (2 CDs)
In my case, culling a CD means: moving it from the CD cabinet in the living room to the shoeboxes in the attic.
I bought multiple versions of the symphonies in various formats hoping to understand the positive reviews I'd seen, hoping better sound would reveal their secrets. I realized I just didn't like them!
