Two great recordings I heard last evening

1. MTT/SFS Mahler 1, on their own label. Fantastic performance, and a
very good sounding CD. Delicate, and also rocks the rafters when
appropriate.
Also available on SACD in multi-channel. Haven't heard either,
unfortunately.
2. Fennell/Eastman Wind Ensemble Gould: West Point Symphony. Mercury
LP SR 90220. Fantastic performances from this ensemble/conductor (as
usual) on a glorious sounding 46 year old LP, still sealed, found on
Ebay for $5.00. I already had the mono release and this stereo release,
but on records that were well-played (and the CD, of course). Fabulous
sound.
Aren't Mercury bargains great? My best bargain is Balalaika Favorites
for a buck at Half-Price.
