RE Maazel's famous Prokofiev Romeo: I've tried and tried to love this performance over the years but find it - jdaniel@jps.net 19:17:54 06/11/16 (8)

I've always preferred Previn's EMI recording... - Russell 13:30:52 06/14/16 (0)

Funny - we disagree a lot! I really liked that Maazel/Cleveland R&J - Chris from Lafayette 19:33:02 06/11/16 (6)

Ditto for the Maazel/Cleve. nt - Rick W 09:44:24 06/12/16 (4)

No. Listen to one measure of the Leinsdorf. Nt - jdaniel@jps.net 18:46:33 06/12/16 (3)

Sure, but which measure did you have in mind? [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 19:03:00 06/12/16 (2)

How 'bout the first? One is fussy, no grace, freshness or charm. Cover and guess: Boston or Cleveland? - jdaniel@jps.net 08:34:14 06/13/16 (1)

They both sounded good to me over my computer system [nt] - Chris from Lafayette 09:13:05 06/13/16 (0)

I would add Tchaikovsky's Manfred. - Sigmund 17:33:23 06/13/16 (0)

Yeah - I was surprised he didn't include any Stokowski among his 5 main choices too - Chris from Lafayette 18:38:37 06/11/16 (0)

DCC Everest Compact Classics: Stokowski's Shosty 5th with the NYPO infinitely more interesting than Bernstein's and much - jdaniel@jps.net 18:30:00 06/11/16 (0)

Nice idea! - Chris from Lafayette 17:48:13 06/10/16 (24)

Yes, I did notice. - vinyl phanatic 14:47:56 06/11/16 (1)

Ordinarily, I'd dismiss most mono recordings from consideration, but. . . - Chris from Lafayette 19:20:23 06/11/16 (0)

Previn's early Nutcracker superior to Dorati, projects more of the ecstasy and co.or - jdaniel@jps.net 07:37:01 06/11/16 (21)

Previn??? Surely you jest! ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 09:11:09 06/11/16 (20)

Yup, color. Maybe you've only heard the digital remaster. : ) - jdaniel@jps.net 11:57:06 06/11/16 (19)

Not the 70's LSO - the 60's LSO for Dorati, right? ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 18:31:50 06/11/16 (18)

Depends: Dorati is aware and awake for Mercury's Prokofiev Scythian etc. But clueless to the magic within the Firebird. - jdaniel@jps.net 18:46:20 06/11/16 (17)

"clueless to the magic within the Firebird" - Chris from Lafayette 19:49:10 06/11/16 (16)

People get caught up in the audiophile hoopla, but at the end of the day, the Dorati is just not that evocative. Nt - jdaniel@jps.net 20:06:59 06/11/16 (15)

I think quite the opposite is true - Analog Scott 17:39:38 06/12/16 (7)

I think it's the other way around, Scott -- - rbolaw 12:38:42 06/13/16 (5)

"anti Columbia bias" - rbolaw 07:32:42 06/15/16 (3)

Well, of course the RCAs and Mercury's have been the focus of audiophile labels - Analog Scott 09:37:50 06/15/16 (1)

Old is certainly not always better than new, but ... - rbolaw 14:26:22 06/15/16 (0)

Also, weren't a lot of Columbia/CBS LP's released with inverted phase? - Chris from Lafayette 09:08:47 06/15/16 (0)

Sorry can't jump on the Dorati Firebird bandwagon. Nt - jdaniel@jps.net 18:48:26 06/12/16 (0)

IYHO (or is it IYNSHO?) ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 00:03:37 06/12/16 (6)

"Evocative of what?" You ask. Oh, I don't know... Fire? Birds? Nt - jdaniel@jps.net 07:14:19 06/12/16 (5)

That of course was a "trick question", but. . . - Chris from Lafayette 09:01:33 06/12/16 (4)

later on definitely. Just passed your humble community on way to Giants/Dodgers game. My - jdaniel@jps.net 09:12:00 06/12/16 (3)

If you're ever by this hamlet again - let me know - perhaps we can arrange for a listening session [nt] - Chris from Lafayette 10:33:39 06/12/16 (2)

Thanks would love it! Nt - jdaniel@jps.net 08:35:34 06/13/16 (1)
