Whats on your turntable tonight?

Szell conducts Beethoven’s Emperor piano concerto. The Cleveland Orchestra w/Gilels. Angel, late 60’s pressing.

Maazel conducts Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. The Cleveland Orchestra. Telarc 1979.

Great recording of this well known piece.

Boulez conducts Schoenberg. BBC Symphony Orchestra. Columbia Masterworks  1978

Been in a pretty somber and reflective mood tonight.
As well as the sad news of Almarg, I visited my LRS today where one of the partners who I knew and talked to regularly just keeled over and died yesterday.

Makes one think deeply on your own mortality.

To that end I played Records 3,4&5 of the Treasury of Music mono classical box set that had been loaned to me.

Bit more upbeat now.

Volunteers ..... Jefferson Airplane.

Klemperer conducts ‘A Wagner Program’. The Philadelphia Orchestra. Angel, reissue, 80’s. Originally 1963
