Default Two hits and a miss

Recent LP finds:

1. Classic Records/RCA: Dvorak: Cello Concerto Munch/Piatigorsky/BSO

This is one of the Wilcox RCA productions. Munch and the BSO sound
uninterested and GP only slightly better. The sound is uninvolving; not
gross, just not special.

2. Speakers Corner/Decca: Falla: The Three Cornered Hat
Ansermet/Suisse Romande

One of the best recordings I've yet heard. SUPER playing and
interpretation. The recorded sound is very, very good; better than any
CD that I've heard. Timbres are excellent. A "must have" IMO.

3. Speakers Corner/Harmonia Mundi France: Dances Anciennes de Homgrie
et de Transylvanie Clemencic Consort

The music is a bit of an "acquired taste" but if you are into it, this
is a fine disk: very good playing, excellent sound.
