| Classical Music for Aficionados Yes, Victrola, with “Lieutenant Kije “ on the flip side.Label is black and gold.l really love the Haitink performance of the Nocturnes, with the atmospheric Concertgebouw sound, on Philips. I have the LP and CD. CD sounds great. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Yes, the Victrolas and the London Treasurys are often from the original master.A great example is Stravinsky’s “Song of the Nightingale” by Reiner. It’s demonstration quality and rivals the expensive Analog Productions reissue.Similarly, the Peter... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados I also like Barbirolli in 5, Leinsdorf as well. It’s hard to find a bad performance of 5.The 7th is a tough nut to crack. I hated it for years, but now love it.Abbado recording finally did the trick. Maazel also has a delicious 4th with Kathleen... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I have both the Sony and DG Bernstein/Mahler sets. I have to listen to them more often. I like Abbado for Mahler and in general. George Szell has wonderful recordings of the 4th and the 6th, and of, course, I like him for everything else. Von Kar... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Thank you, Schubert. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Schubert,How did you ever guess!? I was on a cruise ship, which is a germ generator. As I write, I’m coughing my head off and wheezing out lyrics to songs.I didn’t exactly get the flu, but something very close to it, and have been laid up all we... | |
