I much prefer FiDi as Don — and while I prefer Güden and Berger as Zerlina over Seefried in Fricsay’s Recording i guess its still second best, After Klemperer’s… So I will be keeping 2 of Furtwängler‘s DGs mainly for Berger, and Krips‘ DG for Güden.. Kleiber‘s nozze is out because i just can’t stand the accompaniment… and the only reason for me to get it would be della Casa and Güden… but the whole scenes get screwed up by Kleiber anyway.. and the count and siepi.. Serail: Fricsay (DG) (keeping Krips‘ Decca Serail mainly for the accompaniment probably) Nozze: Fricsay (DG) (keeping Suitner‘s Berlin Classics nozze) DG: *Klemperer (Warner), Fricsay (DG) cosi: Böhm (*Decca, Warner) Zauberflöte: Bergman (Arthaus), *Fricsay (DG)
