Another good one is the amazing violinist Erica Morini playing Tchaikovsky's violin concerto. If you can find the Westminister budget reissue on CD it has both the Tchaikovsky concerto and the Brahms concerto on it. Great sound too. Here's the reel to reel tape:

Thanks Frank.  I hadn't previously known of Erica Morini.

For those who may be interested in but unfamiliar with the Brahms Violin Concerto, here is a relatively recent live performance by the great Itzhak Perlman as soloist, with Daniel Barenboim conducting the Berlin Philharmonic:

Frank,
Thanks for the Audrey Morris recording, she’s good! Very unique style of singing and I like her approach to playing the piano. After listening to "Bistro Ballads " I’m going to seek out more from her. This 1954 recording is really quite intimate with much presence.

Your stereo version of Jo Stafford "Ballad Of The Blues ""-is "much": better than the mono CD remastered version of mine. There’s soul and emotion on your version. Interestingly the "Jo + Jazz " CD is an excellent one for music content and recording quality.

Mel Torme "Swingin On The Moon " captures him in prime form with a terrific big band/string section arrangements. This is top notch Torme. The instrumental solos are really good. There’s an excellent version of "I Wished On The Moon " on this recording. This recording fills my room Frank, a very you are there presentation and very dynamic.

PS ,
Frank it’s a good thing I recorded Dobbs and Hannity 😊😊
I’ve been listening to music all evening.

Tommylion, I don’t know which release of the Heifetz/Reiner/CSO recording of the Brahms Violin Concerto you listened to, but can you or anyone else here comment on the Analog Productions/Acoustic Sounds reissue on LP?

Very happy that you are enjoying the music I sent. 

My friend Robert came over for a listening session tonight. He used to room with a guy who had thousands of 78's. Robert took the time to go through the collection and record onto CD the best of the best. That's what we listened to tonight. The best was a cut from a 78 recorded by Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker. Super fine.
