I don't always agree with David Hurwitz but in this case I agree with his 10/10.
I write about Neschling's follow-up Respighi SACD in the August issue of Stereophile.

,...in the new Stereophile. The same orchestra and conductor in the (much) lesser known work Brazillian Impressions. Your word smithing conjures up a forthcoming languorous, tropical listening session for me which I am much looking forward to. Added Straight to my record order for this month.
Thanks + please call me John.
Believe it or not, the Brazilian Impressions orchestra is not Maestro Neschling's former crew in Sao Paulo.
Rather, it is the Liege Royal Philharmonic, which knocked my socks off because (asbestos undies firmly on) I was under the impression that Liege was the capitol of Belgium's Industrial Rustbelt. They sound world class and the hall is simply gorgeous, photo above.
ATB,

Not sure if the Maazel/Cleveland is a K. Wilkinson recording, but the Kempe/Royal (Chesky or original Reader's Digest RCA Box issue) is.
The quiet organ entrance in the final march is worth the price of admission and demonstrates that there was life (and improvement) after the "golden age" of stereo.
Thanks JM, I will order it. Meantime do not overlook the Antonio Pappano CD on (what was) EMI. Maybe it is now on Warner.
"gone past its sell-by date"
Don't know what you mean by this
I think the new remastered LP is breathtaking both in performance and sound. I will try to listen to this Bis recording

Just what I needed, another recording of something I already have.
Did you listen to the first two suggestions?
And I will eventually listen to the other one.
Thanks.
Tomorrow is deadline day.

Come on John, indulge me with the last 56 seconds. And I don't even like this kind of music. Just turn this up and feel the slam of your speakers.
It's Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat."

I guess we must agree to disagree on this one.But thanks for giving me that minute of your listening time.
By the way, I think you were the one who recommended "Basically Bull".
If so, thanks, I've enjoyed it.
