In Reply to: I much prefer the coherence and clarity of the Decca productions. posted by Timbo in Oz on July 5, 2012 at 16:29:36:
Personally, I know of only two: the LA Philharmonic Sheffield recordings with Leinsdorf. I've always found the Water Lily symphonic recordings problematical. There's a lot less room for error with coincident microphone recordings - or so it would seem.
BTW, I think I like the Mercury spaced-omni recordings quite a bit more than you do, but I like the early Decca/London recordings too.
