@@jagareco I knew. But on the Arkadia cd I had of that 30 years ago, it listed the venue as Monaco, Italian for Munich. Leading me to wonder if some of the recorded coughs from the audience were of Princess Grace. And then I wondered why a woman like that might be coughing. Which is to say, I have a filthy mind. That and being an arch Brucknerian since childhood brings me to recall that Kna actually described Bruckner's music as "sensual"(!) but in a "healthy" way. His Tristan und Isolde, probably my favorite recording of the work, was perhaps the most spiritual performance of that "sensual" music. A critic described it as Tristan und Isolde in aspic. Don Teyte, a Chicago critic, called Knappertsbusch's conducting "anti music", a term he probably borrowed from Hans von Bülow, who used it to describe Bruckner's music(?) I think I can stop there.
