I always tried to play like Richter when I was a kid... just never had the skills to do it. He's still my favorite overall.

Bruckner Symphony No. 3 from this nicely priced Karajan DG Bruckner cycle CD boxed set. I do not have all of Bruckner's Symphonies on vinyl, and I am working on that. At some point I would like to have the complete Jochum cycle on DG on vinyl. Currently I have the 4th, 5th, 7th, and 9th. I also have the Furtwangler DG boxed set of the 4th, 7th, 8th, and 9th on vinyl.

Minty DG stereo pressing. I have several recordings of Gaspard de la Nuit on vinyl and this Argerich recording is far and away my favorite.

Peer Maag – London Symphony Orchestra Mozart Clarinet Concerto in A Major ; Horn Concerto No 1 in D Major ; Horn Concerto No 3 in E Flat Majot.
London CS 6178 Stereo FFSS Early 60's blue back recording got me thinking about hearing it in the movie "Out of Africa" (featured in the soundtrack)... think I'll put the dvd out and watch it tonight.

Also, Saint Saens Organ Symphony on a French EMI/Pathe: C-069-14070
Orchestre National de L'O.R.T.F. w/ Jean Martinon. Wife is out shopping, organ symphony, large line source speakers, and plenty of amp- life is good.

Spent most of the day re-measuring and tweaking my speakers, time for a bit of reward - early Bernstein with the New York PO, playing Mozart like Beethoven, baby!

Picked up a stash of mint DG mono lps- all blue tulips. Schubert "Death and the Maiden" with the Amadeus Q. Very nice sound.
Unlike the photo, no red "stereo"

RCA LM-1768 shaded dog "Pines of Rome"... but the early Toscanini version instead of it's more famous Reiner stable mate. Not the dynamic powerhouse of the LSC 2436, but a more restrained (possibly more balanced) version. Horns and tympani don't dominate the rest of the orchestra like the Reiner version. Still, the finale crescendo is stirring and effective.

I just got my new Vista pre in so I was spinning some vinyl, doing a bit of A/B'ing with my Dodd.

First up Sviatoslav Richter playing Schubert's "Wanderer' Fantasia on Angel36150. He can get more from the lowest two octaves of a 9 ft grand than anyone and does so repeatedly on this piece. The Dodd wins the bass hands down, the Vista does a better job providing upper sparkle.

Then Saint Saens Organ Symphony on EMI/Pathe with Martinon. Here the Dodd pulled away (as it should $$). Fuller orchestra sound, better low level bass clarity, better imaging. The Vista did a little better job getting the brass right.

I was putting away the Richter Schubert and came across Chandos ABRD1075 Schubert sonata in C major. I must have not played it before. Wow. This is one of the best recorded piano lps that I own. And its digital. Direct metal mastering, whatever that is. Look for a copy.

Another beauty from across the pond...I really like LINN Lp's.

I rarely listen to Rachmaninov anymore, so thought I'd spin the 4th with Michelangeli:

Up next is some Shostakovich:
