    What stays in the CD cabinet, and in the holy of holies inside it, will
    be decided in due course, on the basis of separate, fair reviews of all individual CDs concerned.



    A veritable Ark of the Cabinet!

    YES, I'm going to cull:

    - Mozart / Requiem / Vienna Philh (etc) / Karl Böhm / 1971
    DG 413 553-2
    Reason: boring, bloated (even ghastly, according to some opinions stated
    in this forum)

    - Mozart / Symphonies 35-41 / Berlin Philh / Karl Böhm / 1962, 1966
    Reason: rather dull on the whole, not elegant
    DG 447 416-2 (2 CDs)

    In my case, culling a CD means: moving it from the CD cabinet in the
    living room to the shoeboxes in the attic.

    Roland lowers the Böhm!

    P.S. Rather he raises it to the attic!
