RR recording(Rm-1005) of Gershwin- An American in Paris..Leonard Slatkin & St.Louis Symp....light and easy with exceptional soundstaging and wonderful full bass.

Next up is Classical Records(LSC 2298) Borodin..Symphony No.2
Rimsky-Korsakoff...Capriccio Espagnole March from "Tsar Saltan" LSO. Very nicely done.

Phoebe Snow(self titled) Shelter records SR2109. Love that Harpo's Blues and Poetry Man.

Ending with: Allison Krauss + Union Station Rounder/Diverse 2001...Great stuff indeed!

I just upgraded all my IC's to RSA Poiema! what a sweet, dynamic IC with the best bass Ive yet heard from the Aries2/JMW10/ ZYX FS

"Gershwin- An American in Paris..Leonard Slatkin" Marvelous recording! Another great example of the exceptional work done by the Aubort/Nickrenz team for Vanguard and Nonesuch. These Vanguard recordings that were reissued by Reference Recordings are well worth seeking out. Agree with Ken completely.

Arturo Delmoni "Songs My Mother Taught Me" (North Star DS0004) Arturo Delmoni, violin and Meg Bachman Vas, piano. A collection of short works by the likes of Kreisler, Smetana, Dvorak, Mendelssohn, etc. Simply recorded with two microphones at Holy Trinity Church in NYC.

F.J. Haydn "Harmoniemesse" Mass in B flat. Academy of St.Martin-in-the-Fields/Choir of St. John's College Cambridge (Argo ZRG 515) This is another one of those recordings you come across that are surprising. I have come to discover that recordings from the Argo lable have a lot to offer. The two I have been listening to; this one and the Holst "Savitri" are both works for voice and both feature great artists and wonderful performances that capture the acoustic space in which they were performed.
Arthur Salvatore has several Argo works on his list, and while I find myself in disagreement with his choices in equipment, more times than not I find that a lot of his music recommendations are in my collection, and I find myself searching out those I don't have.
