K334 - Although Karajan left out the 2nd Minuet when playing Mozart's 17th Divertimento live (at least in Moscow in 1969 and on the DVD from 1987), it is included in both his DGG studio recordings (1965 and 1987), so if you want to hear the complete score, you need these recordings. It looks like they are unavailable in the UK at the moment, but Amazon.co.uk is advertising used copies of the 1987 recording.

Thanks charles. Seems like the maestro inexplicably preferred not to conduct the minuet in public.

But then, as customary, neither is the K 445 March that go along with K 334 included.

I have the Bohm in the 2 big serenades and Vegh in the marches, so, for example in the Posthorn, my order is Vegh (K 320a #1), Bohm (K 320), Vegh (K 320a #2).

Same problem to hear Don Carlos, Trovatore, Otello (and others) with ballet included. Interestingly K recorded the Otello ballet but, I belive, not in the same session as the rest of the opera.

By the way, I read that his classic EMI Rosenkavlier also has cuts.
Does any one know where?
