    Scary back pain experiences.

    I'm wondering if getting up and down every three minutes or so to flip / change an opera 78 is better or worse for the back than every 78 minutes for a CD? :cool:

    Stay well everyone!

    I guess it's a sort of forced perspective.

    Don't care for the English on this cover. I prefer Mussorgsky to "Moussorgsky" -- the latter looking like a Russian Micky Mouse.
    I also prefer "Night on Bald Mountain" to "...Bare Mountain" -- maybe because of the homonym of "bare" and "bear"?-- but that's just me, I'm sure. :)
    Otherwise, the Dutch make very good records!

    It's turning into a sick joke, I have been looking for more performances of La Mer on the cheap, and low and behold at the thrift store today is this shrink wrapped NM copy (stole the image off discogs) but it's even bolded "Bolero". Here we go as I said the other day I keep getting more Boleros without even trying. Do I just lean into it now and buy every bolero I see?

    I notice that the conductor picture is also way bigger than the one of Mouse Orgsky ;)

    I think you give up and try to buy every version in existence :cool:.

    Like I've done with the Four Seasons.

    Picked up my 17th version at a thrift a few weeks back.

    I have, and like, Barenboim's Bruckner Symphonies 5, 7, and 9, with Chicago, recorded for DG in the '70s -- which I presume are in your box set (I have the LPs).

    If by "later Bruckner," you are referring to his cycle with the Berlin Philharmonic from the '90s... well, I like those, too. Most were recorded live, which I think added a little edge of vibrancy to them. Just my humble opinion, though. :)

    Since I got the Nilsson box today, I started playing the first opera in the set, her Tristan under Solti.

    [​IMG]

    This is a mixed bag to be honest. Fritz Uhl is very insecure as a Tristan, however Nilsson is great, as always I guess. Solti is a love or hate conductor, but I happen to love him, so no issues there.
    The 1961 Decca recording is very good as it is expected.

    Yesterday I was driving around and heard the usual opera programming that was on our local classical music station here in Bend OR. I was immediately struck by the great singing, great sound (with booming tympani, etc) and wonderful voices and said to myself gee he sounds like Jussi Bjorling. Well, I listened to the end and then found out it WAS the great Jussi - and a recording made from a live performance he did in Sweden in 1960. The largely Swedish cast was really very good too. So, my question is: is this recording available commercially? I can’t find it on an internet search. And where oh where can I get it?

    Recorded in Symphony Hall, Boston & first issued in 1952. This is a later pressing with the same catalog number (ML 4500) but a new cover & the 6-eye label.

    Daedalus I haven't heard it all.....

    Enjoying another CD from the Ormandy box. I guess Critic David Allen does not think one should be enjoying this box set according to his June put-down in the NYT. Sorry, Mr Allen , but this is a legacy box for Mr Ormandy.[​IMG]
