Andris Nelsons, at least temporarily music director of the Boston Symphony, leading the WDR SO Köln in Puccini's Preludio Sinfonico, in TRULY HORRIBLE YT sound.
ATB,

PS: I loved Rattle's Gerontius ages ago but have not really felt the pull of his BPO Mahler. Perahia I have great respect for, but, for me I think he is a bit too cerebral. My beau-ideal in pianism is Moravec... .

I really enjoy the performances of about half the musicians on Todd's hate list and half on Andy's "enjoy" list. No point in listing them...
But then, I just might enjoy the OTHER half, who knows?

With Dame Janet Baker singing the angel, even late in her career, who cares who conducted?
That said, I prefer the Barbirolli version, albeit recorded 20 years earlier.
The WDR Sinfonieorchester Cologne is another one of those "sleeper" orchestras that to me often outperforms the "name" orchestras.....
Great performance. (On my computer system, the sound isn't that bad.)
Now all Boston has to do is keep New York or Berlin from making him and offer he shouldn't refuse.

Timely. I just played Moravec's Chopin Scherzi.
As for Nelson's, I have been impressed with his Shostakovich 8 and Sibelius 2.
