Ravel's Gaspard, Sonatine, two others- Boris Berezovsky (Teldec).

One cool thing about having a fully active system that is phase correct is that it makes old recordings that you thought were "bad" actually sound very good and very interesting! Well, many times it does, but not always. Some recordings are just plain bad, and nothing can help them.

In this case, here's an early HIP recording I always thought was too bright and lacking in texture, but I now hear all kinds off cool stuff on it:

Another $2.99 gem!

The 1st Symphony especially enjoyable, the 6th a little 'dark', but growing on me.

Hans Pfitzner- Palestrina and two others via Bavarian Radio Symphony (Orfeo).

And now onto Brahms, another EMI recording, I bought a bag of them at Princeton Record Exchange, for those in the mid-Atlantic region looking to acquire Classics on the cheap.

Just an OK recording. But the John Browning's performance is top notch, and the piece is brilliant.

Samuel Barber's 1st Piano Concerto

Long time ago I heard John Browning and the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy play Barber's concerto in Ann Arbor. Wasn't the premier, but pretty close. (You brought back a memory.)

Bach/Teleman- Members of the The Collegium Aureum with soloists Elly Ameling and others (Deutsche Harmonia Mundi). Bought this in a shop in Little Mayfair, London, along with the first release by The Slits. It has never gotten old.

Shostakovitch Sym no. 8- Previn conducting the LSO (EMI/Angel). The adagio kills.
