Whats on your turntable tonight?

Slipknot, I have two recordings of the Ives "Unanswered Question" that are both pretty good. I don't know what might be a better version. The two I have are:

Gould/ChicagoSO, LSC 2893
Kitayenko/MoscowPO, Sheffield TLP 27

The Sheffield recording comes from the venture Sheffield made to record in Moscow some years ago with an American conductor doing the Russian music a Russian conductor (Kitanyenko) doing the American music. To my ear, the Kitanynko got the better performances out of the orchestra.

On a side note, I assume you have a copy of Ives' "Three Places in New England" somewhere in your collection? If not, it's well worth seeking out. The Howard Hanson / EastmanRochesterSO performance on Mercury continues as my favorite performance and recording. Don't know if Speakers Corner will reissue this, but my SRI copy sounds just fine.
