Whats on your turntable tonight?

Berlioz "Symphonie Fantastique Op, 14" Argenta/Paris Conservatoire (London CS 6025) A "blueback" pressing. Some surface noise to listen through, but a wonderful reading of this piece. With a pretty cheesy cover to boot.

Beethoven "Symphony No. 8 in F Op.93" Ansermet/L'Orchestre De La Suisse Romande (London CS 6388)

Finishing off with
Rimsky-Korsakov "Scheherazade" Dorati/Minneapolis; "Russian Easter Overture" Dorati/LSO (Mercury SR90332) "Great Music by Russian Composers" release.

I really like the performance of both of these pieces on this LP. The Scheherazade is a little tipped up, and doesn't quite get the visceral impact that the Reiner/Chicago does on RCA. The sound of the Russian Easter Overture is a little more balanced. Two different orchestra and halls.

Sonny Boy Williamson - "More Real Folk Blues"
Otis Spann - "Cryin' Time"
Otis Rush - "So Many Roads"

Slipknot1, do you own or had an opportunity to hear your above mentioned Symphonie Fantastique, Argenta reissue on Decca by Speakers Corner? If so I am interested in your appraisal.
