Whats on your turntable tonight?

Hi Larry (Cello), great list of music; I like your selections! Yes, the Harry James "Comin' from a good place" is a good 'un. Love the Arnold and the Mozart Mass recordings!

Led Zeppelin....Physical Graphitti, recent events have me thinking about them again :-)

For Christmas Day, we've been listening to a bunch of non-seasonal music:

Stravinsky "Firebird," on Classic Records 45 rpm reissue of the Dorati/Mercury. We use this record to validate final system setup, the third side is a montrous test of one's system. I recently heard this sound just horrible at friend's home and he couldn't understand why I liked it so much; all I could tell him was that it wasn't the record. But to hear it well does take some immaculate system setup.

Bizet's "L'Arlesienne Suites 1 and 2" and Chabrier's "Espana Rapsodie" also on a Classic Records 45rpm reissue (RCA LSC 2327-45). Another great Decca recording that built RCA's reputation: the eminent Kenneth Wilkinson, engineer, in Kingsway Hall.

Joni Mitchell, her self-titled first album in a pressing my wife has had since it first came out nearly 40 years ago -- still holding up exceptionally well!

Rossini-Respighi, "La Boutique Fantasque" from the Royal Ballet Gala Performances set, Ansermet, RCA LDS 6065-45 (another Classic Records 45rpm reissue) and another great Decca recording on contract to RCA, again with Kenneth Wilkinson engineering the recording at Kingsway Hall.

Adam, "Giselle: Introduction" also from the Royal Ballet Gala Performances set (above).

More to come later in the evening...

Rushton - good to see you back and listening again. It's been some time since I posted here as well. Spending some time at home recuperating from illness, feeling good enough to listen to some music - finally.

So far:
Schuller "Seven Studies on Themes of Paul Klee" Dorati/Minneapolis SO (Mercury SR90282) Speaker's Corner reissue.

Stravinsky "Firebird Suite (1910)" Leinsdorf/Los Angeles SO (Sheffield Lab LAB 24)

Falla "Nights in the Gardens of Spain" Jorda/San Francisco Symphony (RCA LSC 2430) Classic Records reisuue

Slipknot!! Great to see your post here, and glad you're feeling better.

Lucious records. I need to pull out the Gunther Schuller recording, and may do so tonight while a friend is over who enjoys more contemporary music.

Late last night I was playing Shostakovich's Symphony No.1 in a performance by Jean Martinon, RCA LSC 2322-45 (Classic Records reissue).
