Holst- The Planets with Previn conducting the LSO (EMI).

That's a very fine label, Eric.

Ketil Saeverud- Double Concerto for Flute, Guitar, and strings, and two others (BIS). This is one my best recordings that is Blumien miked in what appears to be an old, not large room in a castle. I wish you could see the photo. The mike tree isn't behind the conductor. It's between himself and the soloists and array of players and inside of the group to the left and right of where the strings are seated. I normally listen to this seated in an equilateral triangle, but last night and for the first time I scooted my chair inside of the triangle and the players appeared almost exactly as they can be seen in the photo. They separated out more clearly and the sections became more distinct. It felt like I was literally standing in the conductor's shoes. I hadn't imagined there wouldn't be this much benefit but looking at the photo made me try it. Boy, this is some kind of recording and the music is a gas, too. It's LP-129 if anyone is interested and is probably available on compact disc.

+1 on the Antartica.
However, tonight was a night for the bombastic Smetana "Ma' Vlast" on Supraphon with the Czech Philharmonic led by Kubelik. VG+ performance, great recording.

Mahler's 1st with Horenstein conducting the LSO in 1969 on the Unicorn label. I revisited it last night and was pretty amazed all around. This is one recording where the higher stings remain pure sounding with no stress or grain at any time. Tremendous depth of field, also. Shockingly so in quiet passages. Engineered by Bob Auger.

Not the Rimsky-Korsakov orchestration.
