Record to break your lease.


Some of you might have this record or heard of it. It’s Respighi’s “Feste Romane” and the “Pines of Rome” on an Original Master Recording with Lorin Maazel and the Cleveland Orchestra.  It may not be the best performance out there, but, undoubtedly, it’s the most spectacular sounding LP I’ve heard.  The Feste Romana will shake your walls.  
You can find on Discogs for not much money.

Not the best music in the world, but impressive nonetheless.

The 2-LP vinyl reissue of Pines of Rome and Feste Romane last year with Seiji Ozawa and the BSO on DG's The Original Source series is quite impressive on my system (with a six-pack of REL S/510). 

It also includes Fountains of Rome.

Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony on RCA Living Stereo LP and CD recorded by Lewis Layton in 1958 has long been a contender for best recording of these Respighi works.

“Step In Time” cut on the direct to disc recording of Thelma Houston & Pressure Cooker (Lincoln Mayorga & Co.) -“I’ve Got The  Music in Me”.  Whole album is great!
 

The bigger the woofers & power, the quicker you will be asked to leave…
