Whats on your turntable tonight?

Mozart, "Concerto for Bassoon"-Ormandy, Philadelphia Orchestra, Bernard Garfield, Bassoon. Columbia Masterworks Mono recording.

Offenbach, "Gaite Parisienne"-Fiedler, Boston Pops RCA 45 rpm & Chesky 180g pressing. I wanted to hear how the 45 rpm pressing compared to the Chesky.

Arthur Salvatore had this to say comparing the Chesky to the RCA 33 rpm: "The Chesky has the strong points of both and then some. It is even more natural than the original and has all the desirable qualities of the Classic; enhanced immediacy, lower distortion, superior dynamics and frequency extremes etc., while still avoiding its somewhat dry and "hi-fi" sound. The Classic is cut a few dB louder and has the real original cover; in stunning high gloss color no less. I suppose you can't have everything."

I am inclined to give a very slight edge to the Classic RCA 45rpm. Although it is a tough call.

Midnight Sugar-TBM Supercut label. A swinging Japanese trio playing jazz & blues. Excellently recorded.

Are there any "high" recommendations for Dave
Brubeck's "Time Out" 45 rpm?

Thanks again

A flea market find, Chick Corea's, "Eye of the Beholder". A GRP Digital Master recording released in 1988. Sounds great.

Montepilot, I have very much enjoyed the Dave Brubeck "Time Out" 45 rpm from Classic Records and would recommend it.
