That's funny, I clicked on to vote for Reiner. Those were Chicago's best years, in many respects.
Best Recording of Scheherazade
What recording of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade do you find the most enjoyable? I've listened to four different recordings in the last 24 hours. London Symph under Svetlanov, Philharmonic Orchestra of Monte Carlo under Lawrence Foster, Berliner Philharmoniker under Karajan, and New York Phil under Masur. Out of these, I'd rank them as such:
1)Karajan
2)Masur
Distant 3) Foster
4) Svetlanov
I love my college's music library.

Just recently saw this glowing review for 1964 Stokowski/Cala version, worth reading: http://www.musicweb.uk.net/classrev/2004/Feb04/Rimsky_Sheherezade.htm |
I have an RCA Red Seal Shaded DOg vinyl copy that is my favorite. I think the conductor was Fritz Reiner. I also like This a lot. |
