Whats on your turntable tonight?

Britten's Prince of the Pagodas, a thrift shop find for a buck (I talked them down to 50 cents) looked unplayed and sounds wonderful even though it's tas listed. (2 discs, London Treasury (orange label) sts-15081/2.

Stunned again tonight by how incredibly good this record is:

"Power of the Orchestra: Mussorgsky's Night on Bare Mountain and Pictures at an Exhibition," RCA VICS 2659 -45 (45 rpm reissue from Analogue Productions) (The Kenneth Wilkinson engineering is simply awe inspiring in this superb new 45 rpm mastering.)
.

Rushton-

That recording is on my shopping list.

Tonight:
Mahler "Symphony No. 2 in C minor "Resurrection"" Mehta/Vienna PO (Super Analogue Disc KIJC 9139/40 reissue of the original London)

David Gilmour "Live in Gdansk" (Columbia 88697344701 DC1) 5 LP set of 8/26/06 concert at the Gdansk shipyard in Poland

Wrapping the evening up with:
Bill Evans Trio "Moonbeams" (Riverside RLP-9428)

Rushton: I love most of your recordings. We could have a good time together listening. The Holst Savitri is a very interesting piece, and with Janet Baker how can you lose?
I have the Shostakovitch piano concerto on Chandos with the son conducting and the grandson playing the piano.A really fine LP even though it is a digital master. The ever popular FBR is always fun.Love "Joan of Arc. Though I prefer my original issue over the reissue. Of course that is IMHO.
Keep up the great listening and listing.

Emorrisiv, I agree that we seem to travel similar paths musically. It would be a lot of fun to get together and share some music. If you're ever near Richmond, Virginia, you have an open invitation to join me here! I think we will also find Slipknot1 traveling along many of the same roads with us.

Cheers!
