Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
Listening to Ray Charles and Cleo Laine Porgy and Bess.
Original pressing on RCA.
Listening right now to a very nice Analogue Productions reissue of the classic RCA LP of the Rachmaninoff "Variations on a Theme of Paganini" with Rubinstein and Reiner/CSO. The flip side with the de Falla "Nights in the Gardens of Spain" with Jorda/SFSO is equally fine.
La Spagna, Gregorio Paniagua and the Atrium Musicae de Madrid, BIS LP-163/4
Listening to the original and comparing to the reissue from AudioNautes that was 1/2 speed mastered by the late Stan Ricker.

Later... I've now played the first track of the AudioNautes reissue - oh, yes! More open, more air around the instruments. Just a touch more clarity and resolution. I'd be happy with either one, but this reissue is really good.
