Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

RE: Nice to get a bit of confirmation... Really!

True. IMHO, Reiner and his recording engineers turned out two Lp's for the ages: the '54 Ein Heldenleben and Mahler's Das Lied.

As far as Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra goes, the underdog is supposed to be Kubelik with the BSO on DG, but I'm not feeling it.

My favorite Bartok Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is Haitink's with the Concertgebouw on Philips. Quite a recording as well.

As for the Miraculous Mandarin Suite, I'd go for the very late Ormandy recording on EMI. Just listen to the trombone/gong/bass drum "beat" before the strings enter in the "Chase Scene." Those who like overly-resonant bass drums front and center will be in heaven here.
