This one...

Written between 1992 - 1995, it is a masterpiece of the late 20th century.

Glazunov Sym. no. 3 on EMI/Melodiya

This is a somewhat overlooked piece that has much to offer. My non audiophile wife walked in and said "hmmm. Russian" I said "time?" She came back with late 19th century. No mistaking the Rimsky Korsakov like strings and brass- check it out if you haven't already.

Howard Hanson's Romantic Sym. #2 on Mercury. Part of the 50 cd set for $100 at Amazon. So easy to listen to.
Played through my Dodd preamp and Dodd amp. Thanks Gary.

Sibelius 2nd Symphony. RCA Victrola VICS-1318. This is one of very last of the maroon label Victrolas before RCA and it's accountants began putting out the floppy crap pink label stuff. Although they are pretty well known by collectors, the maroon Victrolas were every bit as fine as the White Dog and even most of the Shaded Dogs-- and they are half the price. This is one of the better ones, a truly great recording with Dorati and the Stockholm Philharmonic. If you are a Sibelius fan, look for it.
NM 1s/1s copy.

Somber to the point of melancholy but powerfully moving to this ole soul.

The opposite of Jim's somber Shostakovich would be...

Gaite Parisienne , again on Victrola. This is the same recording as the highly regarded RCA LSC1817 Fiedler and Boston Pops, made from the original master tapes. These early Victrolas were the real deal. Fun music, great soundstage.

VICS1012 1s/2s

Hi, Toni. I have this, too. It's sumthin special, indeed, and am putting it in my lineup. Where you been?

"Scott, good morning and Merry Christmas. I am listening to a Mozart quartet this morning and at a very moderate volume level and am reminded that this is "chamber" music. Listened to at too high volume and the musicians move forward and grow bigger and the balance of the event is changed. Not this morning. I am there rather than they are here in what sounds like what I imagine a 16th century "chamber" with a stone floor and high walls would and what a perfectly balanced recording this is. It's the totality of it made clear by the appropriate volume setting that makes it a three dimensional experience. The mistakes we make for whatever reason. I'll bring it".

The particular record tho the sentiment is much more widely applicable is "Mozart- Les Quatuors Pour Flute et Cordes" on the Syrinx label (0977-011). Good listening over the holidays all. Cheers

Hanson's first two symphonies on Mercury. Late Romantic stuff, very beautiful. From the Mercury cd set
