Mozart 35 appears superior to Israel PO (SXL - the original unplayed LP is too valuable to wet-clean - nor prepared to wet-clean the other Krips 'as new' 1956/7 LXT). Have 3x sets of this 12LP box..4 other LP's are on this blog - see Munch, above.  Booklet notes + Covers for 4x Krips Mozart/Haydn's >>>
