From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

The curse of the "Fabulous Philadelphia Sound?' When will it end?

In my experience, EMI captured the best string sound overall. I still enjoy Ormandy's Bartok Mandarin/MSPC from '79. Muti took over soon after.

Denon recorded Ormandy performing Tchaikovsky 5, at the dawning of the CD era, and Telarc's Saint Saens 3rd caught the Philly strings at their very silkiest.

DGG did a fantastic job recording Garcia's Rodrigo, IMHO. Sorry they couldn't get it together in Philadelphia.
