Not all HDTT's are equal. Top of the heap for me was the Ansermet Petrushka, Stravinsky's Columbia Firebird, the Bernstein Columbia Gershwin.
Monteux's RCA Tchaikovsky 4th wasn't one of RCA's top class 50's recordings, but that's not HDTT's fault.
The famous Richter/Liszt piano concertos seemed a little muted on top, but I can't remember how the record sounded.

- Yes, it does seem "right heavy" but thanks to my stopped-up left ear, everything does. - jdaniel@jps.net 18:42:31 01/16/17 (0)
- The recently released Monteux Sibelius 2 from HDTT is also very good. (nt) - Russell 11:53:40 01/16/17 (1)
- Almost picked that up, but listened on youtube and Monteux is pretty quick in the closing pages for my tastes. - jdaniel@jps.net 18:44:55 01/16/17 (0)
