Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO

LPs -- Brahms' Second Symphony, Bruno Walter and whatever it was orchestra (L.A.? NY Phil?) on an old Odyssey LP. Good sound. Heart and humanity to spare.  A side from my Swinging Sexy Sinatra box set.

I've also been hitting my CD shelves, and binging on Qobuz & Idagio. Yeah, I've been listening to a lot of music, lately.

That was, in all likelihood, Bruno with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra. I’m betting.

A very good orchestra at the time. The Stravinsky box I played below was with the Columbia Symphony.

Mahler-Symphony NO.2 (Solti/LSO CSA 2217) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Slowly going thru my last 150+ unplayed albums condition and content will be the issue for many of these albums. Bookends played at Audiophile SQ, not bad for VG vinyl. SQ* would need a 2nd play to determine Audiophile SQ. Harry James was the only recording with subpar SQ. Mahler takes the SQ crown due to the excellent clarity and dynamics from this London box set.
