Nelsons Leipzig is wonderful, but Djong Victorin Yu is now My Desert Island pick

I share your love of Steinberg BSO... those were the (pre-Ozawa) days, my friends!!! Joseph Silverstein's Concertmaster solos are a masterclass.

BTW, in the early 2000s, the BSO bit the bullet and had the organ taken apart piece by piece and restored in Connecticut, and then taken apart again and reinstalled, after the renovation was approved.

I can only imagine how much that cost!

You can hear the difference in the (bootleg) recordings of Sir Colin Davis's two "Dreams of Gerontius."
