I finally got a chance to spin this recent thrift store find. While the performance is a bit stiff in places it is sonically really exceptional.

As opposed to some of the comments in the thread below when I first found it, I would say the perspective is center hall. It sound is quite close to the sound I would get when we had a subscription to the L.A. Phil in their old home at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Our seats for the last couple of years there were row V almost dead center. It was a pretty good perspective there.

Anyway, the dynamic range of the record is superb, and the bass drum during the infernal dance gave my big bass horns a good work out and the first hit made me jump at least as well as my Telarc Digital Firebird Suite.

Well worth the $1 i spent...
