For me its the first or very early LP's of: Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South" Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer" and, Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
Thanks for prompting me to pull out the Bloch Hebraic Suite and the Pergolesi Stabat Mater, T_Bone and Nick_sr. I haven't listened to these pieces for many years, and they are both lovely. I'll enjoy them later today. .
Rushton, I can recommend the Hebraic Rhapsody for Cello and Orchestra on the New York Album (an album put out when Yo-Yo Ma toured with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra). I don't know if it is out on vinyl. I would love to find a copy if it was... It was a decent tour too...
Today it is Verdi's la Forza Del Destino... I am listening to a 1980 Japanese pressing by King Records off the original 1955 London/Decca recording with Renata Tebaldi in the role of Donna Leonora, and Mario del Monaco (one of my favorite Italian tenors) singing Don Alvaro.
What a pair of lungs on that lady...
Other than being a really nice pressing, it is a fabulous recording. Can't beat it for $2.
