Indeed a very fine performance. The text at the bottom "Remastered Quadro Recording" took me down a fun rabbit hole.I was wondering how a recording from January 1974 could be SACD multichannel. Turns out Philips was way ahead of their time, making 4-channel surround sound recordings for which there were almost no playback devices…
But one of those devices were 8-track car players with four speakers (like the Pioneer QP-444). I recently saw a unit listed on eBay that had been pulled out of a 1971 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow.

I'll have to find this because I cannot imagine what it will sound like.
On second listen Gaîté Parisienne has the polish of outdoor performances suddenly coming into a much more immediate indoor structure.
Latter half touched on the ephemeral quality alluded to below from description of Berio's Rendering of Schubert's unfinished 10th symphony. Not aware of Karajan enough to decide if it is more likely he carefully constructed sublimity or the orchestra ignored his conducting.
There have been several new releases entitled Belle Époque in the past few months.
Bought this boxset last week.
Not yet ready to tackle it at this moment.
