YES, I'm going to cull:

- 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.

So, if Böhm goes to the attic what stays in the cabinet? Furtwangler 1940s? Toscanini 1950? Walter 1959 (more elegant than Böhm)? Bernstein 1984 (more big band-ish than Böhm)? Hogwood (abrasive strings and all?) Harnoncourt (HIP)? Abbado 2008 (HIP-ish)? Peltokoski 2023 (post-Harnoncourt-ish)?
Just curious...
