Hi-
That was the first thing I raved about on my new blog.
Almost a year ago.
Of course I agree!

Sorry I missed that one, but I was, was...was...sniff....listening to vinyl back then. Can't believe it's only been a year.
I see you mentioned the Respighi BIS disc from Liege, but man, maybe it's my system, but the their strings seemed awfully harsh and dry to me during the "big" variation of Metamorphoesen, which I believe is the other work on that issue.
Also, an under-the-radar download you might like to investigate, (unless you already have), is Savoy singing Ravel's Scheherazade. She doesn't surpass Crespin, but I love her voice, the orchestra is sultry and glittering by turns, and the recording is IMHO very impressive. I just took a chance and I love it. But then Crespin.... And Ansermet....

Sorry, could not resist.
Um, the BIS Respighi I recommended was Brazilian Impressions coupled with Boutique Fantasque, so no, I have not heard the Metamorphosen.
Thanks for the Scheherazade recommendation. I have the original solid silver Philips Elly Ameling/San Francisco, which is luscious, but, a good time to hear a new one!
Thanks,
John
