The concertmaster of Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra served during Furtwangler's and Karajan's eras once recollected Karajan's rehearsal as following:
"To fast, to slow, to loud, to quite, to early and to late" That's only six words we can hear from him.
Not exactly word-by-word translation but the main idea is captured here for your reference.
Back to the main topic. Since Giulini's performance (DGG - 427 345-2, recorded in 1988 with Wiener Philharmoniker) is mentioned here, should we not miss Sinopoli's reading? It is very lyric, profound performances.
Also long forgotten Schuricht, Abendroth, Konwitschny and Klemperer, just to name a few. There is also a rare recording done by Mravinsky.
Again, happy listening!
