Regardless of the actual audio "quality" I think that the Bearnstein recording is the best. There's something about his solos that I find more magical than anybody elses performances. I own it in 3 formats.
Best Sounding Rhapsody in Blue
I am seeking A Rhapsody in Blue Recording that truly fills
the audio spectrum. I have the following CD's (don't laugh
I really like this piece)
1. Michel Camilo-Hybrid SACD Telarc
2. Michael Tilson Thomas-RCA Gold Seal
3. Arthur Fiedler with Earl Wild-SACD-RCA Red Seal
4. Leonard Bernstein-SOny SACD
5. James Levine-Deutsche Gram-(Levine at the Piano
6. Stereophile-CD with Rhapsody in Blue
I really don't want to buy many more of these. Anybody
recommend a CD that really sounds great. The above are OK,
but there must be more. A fuller and richer sound. Sometimes it is difficult to find a great sounding Cd.
Thanks for any and all suggestions.
