An amazing record
Speakers Corner repressing of Mercury SR90199, Respighi: Ancient Dances
and Airs, Dorati/Philharmonia Hungarica I had always known about the original Mercury and its great reputation, but somehow I had never heard it nor found a good copy. IMO, it's simply fantastic. One of the best recordings I've heard in my home in any media. There's a solo cello bit that had me experiencing the storied "are we sure that there isn't a cello in this room" for a moment. In this case, I don't know, but IMV some of the Speakers Corner repressings of the Mercury LP sound better than the original in terms of instrumental timbres. Highly, highly recommended. |

I have the CD version of the Mercury and I like it a lot. I really do enjoy Respighi and my Reference Recordings LP of Church Windows is one of my favorites. I'll have to check out this new pressing. Thanks! |

Thanks! You're welcome! �BTW, I played on the Church Windows recording. �I was an original member of the Pacific Symphony, and Keith Clark was my conducting advisor at the time.- That's very cool! I love that album! |
