I haven't heard that version. Looks interesting - will have to check it out; despite having a half dozen versions of Le Quattro Stagioni. :)Quote:

During the recoring of the digital masters and the subsequent transfer to disc, the entire audio chain was transformerless. The signal was not passed through any proccessing device (i.e., compression, limiting, or equalization) at any step during production.

LOL! My very first Classical LP purchase was also Holst's 'Planets', but on Music for Pleasure, and performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Leopold Stokowski. It was in mono, because my parents only had a single channel 'radiogram'. :lol: Haven't played it in ages - probably it's now shagged having been played on a groove grinder too many times. :rolleyes:

This is one of my favourite classical pieces, I rather like this version and I also have the 1971 recording by Boston Symphony Orchestra • William Steinberg.
I would love to know what you consider the best recording/version of this piece so I could have a listen. Thanks

The best version I have of this classic, full of attack, dynamics, sweeps along with great musicality, feeling and detail. If you love this piece get a copy.

Sorry Adrian, I can't help you there - the only bit of Also Sprach Zarathustra I have is the opening track on an LP of the soundtrack to the film '2001 A Space Odessey'. And that was bought, not for the Richard Strauss, but for the Ligeti.Quote:
