Just listen to the "meaty" contra bassoon early in side two, along with the off-beat cymbals. When will digital ever get cymbals to sound as delicate and tangible as this?

Brings a smile to my face every time.

...and I think I have a very different regard for the work when listening to this recording than when I hear the Dorati/Minnesota performance.

Ansermet/Suisse Romande manages a sense of flow, warmth and mood throughout. And this manages to draw me in. Where Dorati's recording has me admiring the recording engineer more than I admire the music itself.

I think I can sum it up in a phrase; Analytical versus organic.

my copy:

I rate this copy as a VG+ for vinyl. No scratches, ticks or pops. But there is some light crackle that remains in the background. Music sounds pure. So this continues to be my copy.

  Bluebacks sound great. That looks like it would be a very good listen.
