Great tip about the Pastoral; I usually default to Karl Bohm's classic account which is also available MQA, so great to get another option.

But it is bewildering how the albums get tagged. Often the singers are the tag e.g. Gundula Janowitz for the Bernstein 'Fidelio'...not how I would have tagged it.

Still the choice of releases defies understanding...it seems soon we get the Karajan 'Cav & pag', and the Abbado 'Figaro'...why those?

Hoping there will be developments in Munich next week; it's a year now since the partnership with Sony was announced...they have some Bernstein!
