I have had this recording since it came out in 1983. At the time, it was one of my first CD purchases, and how things have changed. The performance clocks in around 34 minutes, and for a full price CD it was a bit of an extravagance on the record company’s part at full price. Nonetheless, Ozawa and the Boston Symphony give a great preformance of this Strauss warhorse, and with stellar sound, surely one of the first digital ASZ recordings. While the CD is NOT a deal, you can get the MP3 verison for a mear $0.99 at Amazon. Of course it is in one track, but a great deal at any price.
