but largely on vinyl and SACD. The CDs, I'm sorry to say, were mostly too harsh-sounding for me.
IMO nothing compares with the warm, detailed sound of my 180g vinyl re-issue of the Ibert/Ravel pictured above. Or one not shown--the Paray/DSO LP of Chabrier.
Needless to say, the original Mercury vinyls were pretty bad.
