Many thanks to FHG and Flay. My knowledge of score reading isn't that good so this is a bit of an education for me.

Most interesting Toscanini's tempi and Norrington's pitch!

There are various reasoned arguments that I would suggest might dispute your opinion, Alison, and prefer the view that he was one of the finest conductors ever.
But I think Hornspieler put it far more eloquently!

Just thought his chords sounded a shade flaccid; probably the acoustic.

Pfitzner and Szell came off best there to my ears. Surprised Lenny only played 2 chords!

On the evidence of the samples played, Blomstedt was my favourite.
Otherwise my top recommendation remains VPO/Erich Kleiber.
