Wonder if there are any Brahms/Bernstein cognoscenti out there.
I want to buy Bernstein's "live" recording of Brahms' 1st symphony with the Wiener Philharmoniker. (on CD). There seem to be 2 editions on Ebay, one that sells for anything up to 50 Euro for a good used copy, and one that goes for 6-10 Euro. Both are "live", both are recorded in 1983. So presumably the same concert.
Is the cheap one a shoddy, low quality pressing, or does the first just have "first Edition" prestige. Has anyone heard both?
Grateful for any opiniuons,
Paul
