So far
A shoot-out between 2 versions of the "Firebird":
Dorati/LSO Mercury reissue
Liensdorf/Los Angeles Sheffield Lab 24

Another AudiogoN member (Sbank) and I listened to the Sheffield together last weekend, and we both thought the dynamics of the Sheffield were greater than the Mercury.
After listening tonight to both, I still feel that way, at least as it comes across on my system. That said, I prefer the performance of the Dorati/LSO over the Sheffield because to me, there is more emotion and "fire" in his reading. There are no flies on either recording. You can't go wrong with either of them.

Last night...
The Academy of St. Martin in the Field in Concert: Music of Albinoni, Bach, Beethoven, Handel, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Pachabel (Marriner/ASMF, Brown -vn, EMI ASD 3017)

Rimsky-Korsakov: Overture from May Night; Christmas Eve Suite; The Tale of the Tsar Saltan Suite (Jarvi/SNO, Chandos DBRD 3004)

Piano Works of Milton Babbit (Taub -pf, Harmonia Mundi HMC 5160)

Tonight... Just back from live chamber music at the Curtis Institute of Music: student recitals with music of Dohnanyi, Chopin, Bruch, de Falla. They may be students, but they are world class performers. The Dohnanyi "Serenade for Vn, Va & Vc" was stunning, and the performance of the Bruch "Scottish Fantasy" (arr: piano and violin) matched the best of the performances in my record collection, and in far better sound because it was live, second row center.
