Teasing the Korean Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Do you have a favorite version? I have a digital recording conducted by Simon Rattle in which the dynamic range is so extreme, the quiet passages disappear. I am listening to the RCA (analog) LP by the BSO, but it is combined with the Third Symphony, and as a result, some groove-cramming is going on. What's a great version, preferably from the LP (analog) era? Edited June 2, 2018 by Teasing the Korean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HutchFan Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 I usually reach for Hermann Scherchen's recording with the Vienna SO when I want to hear the Scythian Suite. The performance is superb; however, the audio is less than ideal. (It's mono, from 1951.) Dorati's version has always been highly-regarded, but I've never heard it. It also has a reputation for unbelievable sonics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulpope Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 There is a hearworthy reading by Celibidache + Stuttgart Radio Sinfonie Orchester on Deutsche Grammophon .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted June 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Thank you both. I will keep my eyes peeled for these in the used bins. I love the Dorati Le Sacre on Mercury, so I would imagine he would do well with the Scythian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
