Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 22 As long as lots of people are talking about the ninth, I'd like to ask a question. Does anybody know any good recordings of it that include all repeats? Specifically, most conductors leave out the repeat in the second movement 35 measures after letter K. (That's a big repeat back to almost the beginning.) I really like that ending, and I notice when it isn't there. The only (commercial) recording I have that has the first ending is the Toscanini with Eileen Farrell, Nan Merriman, Jan Peerce, Norman Scott, and the Robert Shaw Chorale. I know the following recordings skip the first ending: --- L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Ernest Ansermet ... --- Wiener Philharmoniker, Leonard Bernstein ... Brian H.
