I have the original RCA, the really good Chesky reissue, and all of the CD reissues. The two RCA CDs and the JVC release are all quite good. I could easily live with them if I had to. There is minimum "damage" to the instrumental timbres on each of these CDs. But the current Classic Records issue is another matter all together. This is the best of all of the recordings, IMO, and the best Classic Records release that I've heard. It's a stunning recording. Bud Herseth's solos are so believable. The string section, especially the first violins, are incredible sounding in their timbres and their stereo imaging. I believe that this is now my favorite recording in any format that I've heard in my home. High praise! Somehow I've missed this performance (my 'imprint' is the Leinsdorf with the Hary Janos flip-side). Stephen |

It's most notable feature is the vocal soloist in the Prokofiev. IIRC, the part is usually given to a saxophone. Stephen |

It must be the one missing from my other post: should be "same forces' Ravel." Now remembering: Vampire Weekend "Who gives a **** about an Oxford comma?" Stephen |
