Best Bolero


Ravel's Bolero is something very much enjoyed by both my wife and me for various reasons. ;-) The extent to which we agree fully on music is a bit rare so I seek here recommendations for the best sound quality/best perfomance LP (not cd) that anyone out there has experienced. Thanks

I like the Karajan. I also have a recording of it played on 2 pianos...very different.
Thanks for your reply, Richard. I have an old, and now very worn, Columbia Masterworks MC7673 copy by the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Eugene Ormandy. The LP has very good sonics and it is a powerfull performance. However, since my copy really needs to be replaced, it being a bit too scratched for comfort, I was hoping others might have suggestions on definitive recordings. This work has become a favorite of my 15 yo son who, thankfully, has an open ear for a variety of music!
Hi 4yanx.. My favorite Bolero LP is played by Pierre Monteux, conducting the London Symphony Orchestra, on Phillips, Stereo 835 258 LY. I would enjoy seeing what others think is the Best "Bolero" cordially, Richard
