Kerching! On a BIN of £2.50, it would be rude not to. I also spotted a Kleiber Beethoven Symphony No. 5 with the Concertgebouw, hadn't realised he had made a previous recording of the 5th.
Thanks, Bob!

You're welcome.
This was the same eBay seller that I got my VW London from, and I was just curiously browsing his other items. I hope your Saint-Saens isn't as crackly as my purchase, though .. ..
No worries - my Clearaudio Smart Matrix should be able to handle it.

Yes, well - as you say, that's a rather unfair comparison!
Yep, it is good.However, I'll definitely keep a lookout for more Haitink VW
A friend came 'round yesterday for a few hours listening. He's looking to buy his dad a CD set of the RVW symphonies for Xmas and was wondering which one to get.
We listened to the opening 5 minutes or so of the Sea Symphony from Haitink, Previn and Slatkin.
Haitink came out tops! It sounded magnificent, tbh - beautifully executed, the playing and singing very clear and articulate, and the sq is clean as a whistle and nicely dynamic.
Yep - that may well be my Sea Symphony of choice these days.

Recent listening ....
Requiem by Ragnar Grippe on a BIS CD. Ha! - a huge amount of fun - classical requiem meets synth bass and pop!Demonstration class recording, too.
Jonathan Leshnoff - Double concerto for violin and viola on Naxos CD. Lovely modern piece - tonal and approachable, but quite exhilirating. Well worth exploring, imo.

Have just listened to a few excerpts from this on eClassical.com - will definitely put this one on my listRequiem by Ragnar Grippe on a BIS CD. Ha! - a huge amount of fun - classical requiem meets synth bass and pop!
I was on the site downloading "Nordic Spell" - an excellent title for some atmospheric Scandinavian flute concertos. Just started listening a few moments ago. Thinks - soundtrack to a film of a Jo Nesbo or Henning Mankell novel ? Anyhow, another good BIS recording. [Actually paid for it on Saturday when it was on special offer - £2.88
BIS are consistently good, aren't they?
