Yes, I like this performance on LP.
I heard this conductor/orchestra perform in concert. They didn't play Sheherazade. They played Rachmaninoff's 1st Symphony. Now THAT was a performance to behold. This symphony is so rarely played in concert, the 2nd being much more familiar. And this orchestra got it right (unlike the few other live performances I've seen).
The Kogan Rach Symphony No. 1 is available on CD, but the performance does not have the spontaneity and sheer visceral drive of the live performance I attended. I seem to remember that this recording may have had a life on LP, which could have been better audio than the CD, but I've never seen it.
