Marco.
Years ago, Marco, so I can't remember. Amazon list it, though.
Cheers. I think I'll snaffle that.

Digital, from The Decca Sound box - would love the LP (if i buy myself a new turntable one day) but the recording is amazing regardless...
So much wonderful stuff came out of Montréal back in the day - the Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony, The Planets, the gorgeous Fauré Requiem… ooh - the Ravel Piano Concertos with Pascal Rogé.Quote:

I have the Saint-Saens and the Holst recordings of theirs. I think the venue (St Eustache, from memory) contributes a great deal to the sound, and Dutoit was as-one with the orchestra.Quote:

Karajan's last recording before the very last curtain call of them all :deceased:
It's been criticised over the years for being a bit sloppy - which is fair enough, I guess, but it's still more than a bit special. And good sq, too.

Digital, again from The Decca Sound box.. This has been issued as one of those Esoteric SACDs by Teac - anyone have any experience of them?
i think that was one of those times when everything came together - performers, recording team and venue. Great stuff. I have the Elgar Enigma Variations which was given a lukewarm review at the time but I think it's lovely, and the Gershwin disc is a lot of fun, too.Quote:
