- I don't like Karajan in general, but his DSCH 10th isn't that bad.
- There are certainly better recordings, but it's not the kind of thing
- that would turn off a new listener, for example.
-
- Someone said here a while back that the 10th is in some way resilient -
- it's hard to really screw it up. (Unlike, for example, the 4th or 8th.)
- That's my impression, I've never heard a recording of 10 that I really
- disliked.
