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.

Aside from”Reflections,” I’m familiar with the works you mention.  I’ll try to give them a listen in these versions.

I didn’t realize Reflections was the name of the album. 
Yes,  impressive sound on Qobuz. 
I don’t know yet if I’d call them “ lease breakers”. Compared to Repighi with John Wilson.

Great music.

I’ve got a 1977 original issue London LP of the Maazel/Cleveland performance recorded by the great Kenneth Wilkinson.

The bass is pretty awesome in The Pines Near a Catacomb.

My Rythmik subwoofers love it:  you don’t so much hear the bass as feel it.
