Query: Poor sound quality AND lackluster direction

If you can "accept" a mono recording, get the Naxos Historical version recorded by Tullio Serafinin 1939. At least there, you're not getting something recorded through a filtered medium of radio.And, you're getting a lot better interpretation, too. I know Karajan favors slower tempos, but a 90-minute Requiem is ridiculous.I got this cheap out of a bargain bin, and it still wasn't really worth it.
