Recorded prior to 16 June 1951, Vienna. According to Lotte Klemperer, the final two movements are conducted not by Klemperer but by Herbert Haefner, whom VOX asked to complete the recording after Klemperer had left for a concert tour in Greece with the Vienna Philharmonic. When VOX then

issued the composite recording under Klemperer’s name and without his knowledge, Klemperer broke off with VOX; his letter of protest (28 Nov.1951) reveals that Klemperer already then had intended to use his own “special ending” to the symphony (Beaumont, Klemperer Briefe, pp. 369-70).

Recorded in Kingsway Hall, 5 & 6 October and 17 December 1955 (all sessions were recorded in both mono and stereo). In the 3rd movement, the mono version (on EMI CDM 763868 and Naxos) has a wrong edit at 3:57 in the Presto repeat after the first Assai meno presto: bars 303/4 and 319/320 feature forte instead of piano – also timpani in 473 & 474 (6:13) ignore final eighth and continue trill throughout (first occurrence at 2:51 – bars 213 & 214 okay) Seems like a take of the first presto was inserted here starting at bar 304 with upbeat: as the simultaneous stereo recording shows unmistakenly, OK plays these bars piano.
