RE: MG50058

I have that one. Dorati/Minnesota. Another great recording. Clarity and dynamics are super on my copy. Program notes on the back of the outer jacket tell us this was a 1955 performance. One microphone!

The one thing about the three Stravinsky ballets is that as we listen to the records the music is taken out of context. There is no ballet in front of us. It makes me wonder if conductors don't intentionally read these pieces differently depending on whether the performance is to support a ballet or if the performance is play the music without any ballet going on.

Anyway, this Merc recording stands out as excellent.
