The Maazel seemed to have a fair amount of publicity associated with it IIRC?
Follow Ups:
I don't recall any unusual publicity about the Maazel Rite--do you remember something about it?
. . . and their status in the audiophile press. Maybe you're right that it was not so much with the mainstream media (although Telarc titles used to get regular awards at the Grammies - or so it seemed to me).
So likely enjoyed a bit of novelty factor in audiophile press?
In retrospect, it's good but I prefer Boulez' Cleveland.
Are you talking about the Shaw/Atlanta recording of the Firebird? I think that was the first digital recording released on LP (Telarc). In CD form, it still sounds pretty good, although it's not an exciting performance.
The Maazel/Cleveland Rite on Telarc is a different animal entirely. Well, like the Shaw recording, it does have that infamous "Telarc bass drum." But it is an exciting performance that appears not to have been multi-miked, with very good imaging. It also features VERY prominent trombone glissandi, for which Maazel slows down. Now **that** attracted attention in some of the reviews. I like it!
