| Classical Music for Aficionados On Philps, don’t forget the wonderful Haydn Symphony set by Colin Davis.I must have seven or eight LPs from that series | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Newbee,Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll definitely order it.Polyansky’s recording of “The Bells” is among the best.One of the great musical experiences of my life was at a live concert with him conducting Rachmaninoff’s Second Symphony. Truly... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Re: Rachmaninoff “The Bells”.I based my recommendation of Simon Rattle in this piece because of a live telecast of him on the Berlin Philharmonic Concert Hall site— a truly exciting rendering. Sadly, his Warner Classics CD, IMO, is leaden with th... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados I just happened to listen to the same disc yesterday.Great performances and sound. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados No posts today.Have we already run out of steam? | |
