Whats on your turntable tonight?

T_Bone, I have three performances, but not the Yo-Yo Ma. The performances I have are:

Bernstein/OrchNatFra, Rostropovich (EMI on a MHS reissue)
Mehta/Israel PO, Starker (Decca)
Ormandy/PhilO, L.Rose (Columbia)

All are very interestingly different. I'll check the library for the Ma recording since you recommend it. Thanks!

I have it on ceedee. It is well-recorded and well-performed. And my copy is signed by YYM and DZ... :^)

Now back to your regularly-scheduled vinyl sessions...

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.
