LPs -- Brahms' Second Symphony, Bruno Walter and whatever it was orchestra (L.A.? NY Phil?) on an old Odyssey LP. Good sound. Heart and humanity to spare.  A side from my Swinging Sexy Sinatra box set.

I've also been hitting my CD shelves, and binging on Qobuz & Idagio. Yeah, I've been listening to a lot of music, lately.

That was, in all likelihood, Bruno with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra. I’m betting.

A very good orchestra at the time. The Stravinsky box I played below was with the Columbia Symphony.
