Not orchestral, but for a taste of an often-overlooked side of Levine's wonderful musicianship (pianist), check out Kathleen Battle's "Schubert: Lieder" on DG. Excellent sound and great performances of this beautiful music. The great Karl Leister (clarinet) joins Battle and Levine for "Der Hirt auf dem Felsen"; one of the great chamber works.
Any James Levine with high-end sound?
Is any of you aware of any recordings by James Levine, other than Italian opera, which are available in high quality sound? I'd especially like to hear some of his recordings with Berlin and Vienna.
The stuff I have heard on DGG and RCA has been no better than tolerable in terms of audio.
