Whats on your turntable tonight?

Brian, This is far better than the other one. I know there is an expensive version of this in print too but this one is spectacular. 

I’ll check it out. Thanks. Heck, I can afford both of them 😁

Well, the recording with Berenboin Conducting is very sweet and rather subdued. It was made live with an audience that all seemed to have coughs and colds... The EMI is something to write home about though. Incredible dynamics and tone in a great performance.
The EMI recording was also pressed by this little boutique label, The Electric Recording Company, and recently sold out so asking has gone to over a grand. We should have got copies at issue when they were only $500.....

@spiritofradio,

Your mentioning Charles Lloyd "Love In" Live at The Fillmore the other week was the basis for me buying that lp. Just ran across a sealed pp today and ordered it. Thanks!

One of the things I like about collecting a variety of the same performances by different conductors/symphonies, and yes, even record labels; The variety.

I found the EMI UK version on Discogs for about $20-25; The original pressing. There is one by The Electric Recording Co. selling for almost $1,200. Rated about the same as the Barenboim by owners of it. That said, I do like much of what I have which Barbirolli conducted.
