Heard about this on NPR tonight: (sorry if it's already been posted)
"Now available--the newest archival release from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra!"
They played a track, VW 2nd (London) Symphony recorded in London in 1969, under the direction of Maestro Malcolm Sergent. Mr. Jacobs sounded incredible, and I was listening to it in the car!
