If you never heard the USSR Symphony with Svetlanov then you might try a cheap circle “Symphonic Poems From Russia” where Svetlanov lead his orchestra on all-Russian program (74321 34165 2 and 74321 34166 2, each box has 2 CD). If you want the Svetla...

I recently heard Koussevitsky's interpretation of Debussy's La Mer as performed by the Boston Symphony, and I found it to be delightful, very fluid and pregnant with passion. Does anyone else have an opinion about this performance or have another pr...

I'm wondering why people do not mention Bruckner 4th, while 5,7,8, and 9 were talked about here and there. I really love the 4th symphony. My most favorite is Wand's last recording with NDR. The one with Berlin Phil is great too. As an orchestra ...

Well, as I said – you never know. I was listing the live Friday WGBH broadcast over internet from my work (very bad quality) and when I got home I listen my recording. The Brahms Double Concerto I did not like, but the Bruckner 7 was very-very good. ...

I am pretty sure I qualify as a Neanderthal when it comes to Bruckner but I'm listening to his 4th symphony now and find it quite enjoyable. Even my roommate who thought I was listening to movie soundtrack likes it. It's the Herbert von Karajan on DG...

It would help if you gave an example of late 19th C Romantic music on LP that you did con...

Last few weeks Amy was playing with BPO, and it was surprisingly

orchestra. But so...
