In Reply to: Yes, not a bad deal. The eight titles I purchased came to $95. I remember when CDs were $26 in '85. posted by jdaniel@jps.net on November 26, 2016 at 17:56:25:
Your purchase list includes the very first CD I ever owned or heard (not counting CDs played over the radio), the Bernstein/Gershwin on DG. Assuming yours is the same recording, I wonder how it sounds, and whether it was ever remastered. A classic performance-wise, but also a classic example of the bad digital sound of many early 80s CDs.
Edit: Actually, yours looks like Bernstein's earlier Rhapsody on Columbia which is paired with An American In Paris, since the later DG one is paired with the West Side Story Symphonic Variations. Another good choice.

- Yes, was the earlier Bernstein. The Columbia 6 eye wasn't bad. No matter, I can't "unhear" the Bernstein - jdaniel@jps.net 20:56:53 11/27/16 (4)

- Glad to hear you agree. IMHO sound and performance better overall than the competing RCA with Wild/Fiedler. n - jdaniel@jps.net 18:51:06 11/29/16 (0)
