Best Record You Have Ever heard
My most recent acquisition is Analogue Productions' 2x45 rpm rendition of the 1962 Living Stereo classic, "The Power of the Orchestra," which features Joseph Leibowitz conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in Moussorgsky's "Night on Bare Mountain" and "Pictures at an Exhibition." This "Pictures at an Exhibition" performance ranks with the very finest and the "Night on Bare Mountain" is so visceral it will make you curl up in fear. The clarity of the percussion and bite of the brass must be experienced to be believed, and the 45 rpm version imparts a clarity and dynamics the like of which I've never heard for a bombastic orchestral piece on LP before, let alone a 3-track. For sonics+musical value it's my #1. |
