Listening to Bernstein conducting and playing Shostakovich and Ravel piano concertos right now. Gorgeous. ML 5337.
Columbia 6 eye lp's
Living Stereo. Living Presence. Reference Recordings. Columbia Six Eyes get no respect, I tell ya...
Just wondering if anybody would like to list their favorite Six-Eyes for sonics, which at their best rival anything out there (IMO).
What started me wondering was listening to Eugene Ormandy conducting Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty today. I have always passed on this one, but today a copy came in to the Goodwill that was so mint I couldn't resist it for $1.19. When I played I was shocked - it's not only an excellent performance, but a stupendous recording.
Another one that I've always liked is the Bruno Walter/Francescatti Beethoven Violin Concerto. And of course the Miles Davis titles.
How about you? Any obscure ones - or conversely, the obvious ones like the Ormandy that fellow Audiogoners might be passing up?
