A favorite listening partner, a glass of port and great music playing. Tonight in honor of the work of the great recording engineer, Marc Aubort:
Ravel, "Valses nobles et sentimentales" - Skrowaczewski/MinnO - Vox recording by Marc Aubort reissued by Reference Recordings, RM 1004
Ravel, "Pavane pour une Infante Defunte" and "Le tombeau de Couperin" - Skrowaczewski/MinnO - Vox recording by Marc Aubort reissued by Reference Recordings, RM 1001
Gershwin, "Catfish Row Suite" [arranged by Gershwin from the music of "Porgy and Bess"] - Slatkin/StLouisSO - Vox recording by Marc Aubort reissued by Reference Recordings, RM 1005
Gershwin, "An American in Paris" - Slatkin/StLouisSO - Vox recording by Marc Aubort reissued by Reference Recordings, RM 1005
Great stuff!! With each side, my listening partner goes: "Oh, this sounds really good..." and for good reason. These are outstanding recordings, made even better by the outstanding remastering for Reference Recordings by Doug Sax.
