Whats on your turntable tonight?

Yesterday I was listening to an interesting collection of Concertos for Saxophone. As many will know, the saxophone was invented in the 19th Century (1840-41), but was only gradually accepted into the classical music literature. Here are three marvelous compositions exploiting the interesting timbre of the sax by Dubois, Villa-Lobos, Ibert and Glasunov. Eugen Rousseau, saxophone; Paul Kuntz conducting. DGG 2530 209. Recording engineer Hans-Peter Schweigmann creating a nice natural perspective on the orchestra. Schweigmann's recordings are regularly very fine and worth seeking out for those who value good orchestral sound.

Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 (Pastorale) with Bruno Walter and the Columbia Symphony Orchestra, Columbia MS 6012. This is the Impex reissue which is very very well re-mastered and pressed. Kudos to the Impex team for reviving such a marvelous performance. There is a reason this record is on the most recent TAS Super LP List.
