George Slv 6th Dec 2015		Classical Item Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy - Magic Fire Music	On his "The Wagner Album" double LP, this is record 1. MG30300.
George Slv 18th Sep 2015		Classical Item Orchestre De Chambre "Pro Arte" De Munich - Autour Du Celebre Canon De Pachelbel (1966)	This Pachelbel Canon is not the same recording as on Airs Et Adagios Baroques. See the back cover for better information on the pieces.
George Slv 16th Sep 2015		Classical Item Orchestre "Pro Arte" De Munich, Kurt Redel - Airs Et Adagios Baroques	Review This is THE album for such pieces. Couldn't be recorded better. I heard it on Canadian radio in the 1970s, and don't know if there was an English release. (These instruments are playing in French.) Part of the Plaisir du Classique series. It's Johann Sebastian Bach in English. 10 is the so-called Air On The G String. It's from his Orchestral Suite #3 in D, movement 2. 3 is Winter from the Four Seasons. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
George Slv 9th Aug 2015		Classical Item Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, Antal Dorati - The Pines Of Rome / The Fountains Of Rome (1980)	I don't know what the original 1963 cover was, I don't think it was the same. Also be careful about their 1953 similar recording. Now this is my favorite recording of Fountains. The audio tracks clearly capture the surging water and other effects.
George Slv 15th Jun 2015		Classical Item National Symphony Orchestra Of Ukraine - Hadley: Symphony No. 4, The Ocean (2001)	Youtube from minacciosa: A rare performance of American composer Henry Hadley's tone poem "The Ocean". This is the final section of the work, heard in concert in Kiev, Ukraine. Conducted by Grammy winner John McLaughlin Williams. [YouTube Video]
George Slv 7th Jun 2015		Classical Item New York Philharmonic, Leonard Bernstein - Bernstein Conducts Sibelius (1974)	This recording of Swan Of Tuonela is a prize.
George Slv 25th Feb 2015		Classical Item Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Lorin Maazel - Sibelius Symphony No.2 (1963)	PhilMH, it's correct on 45worlds to do that. To me it's worse to have extra listings.
George Slv 3rd Oct 2014		Classical Item London Symphony Orchestra, Antal Dorati - Respighi: The Birds / Brazilian Impressions (1973)	A reissue of the original from about 1960. Quite a story about reissues. They were not "Living Presence" anymore (whatever that meant). A copy I got made in Holland got wrecked as soon as I played it once - recycled vinyl of some kind. Called Golden Imports or some variation. Now there's an audiophile vinyl reissue which is anything but audiophile. It sounds like it was made from a tape that was made from a vinyl. Dull sound.
George Slv 25th Aug 2014		Classical Item London Symphony Orchestra, Antal Dorati - Respighi: The Birds / Brazilian Impressions (1962)	There is/was a nice CD of this which I have. A commenter at Amazon.com said his (Dorati's?) widow made it from her tape. So this would be the tape? This may be my favorite classical recording of all (Braz Impr). I have several LPs and I've been disappointed at the unacceptable used quality.
