It is so effective ...

Still enjoying discs that came out of the Hip-hop wonderbag i found.

Rachmaninoff - Symphonic Dances ( Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Live recording from 21 November 1976) Stunning !

Like these ouvertures conducted by Horenstein. I am sure i will return to this recording with pleasure. Found a sealed copy but it's a little noisy. Ok, .. I don't have it on cd/lp but listened on youtube. Maybe i will have a better listen one day.

I enjoyed it. Have you heard Smetáček ?

This recording hits the spot ! Delivers a transparant and stately performance despite being a little slow. No, that Leipzig recording doesn't sound good to me.

I will check this one in a minute ... and i will comment ... i am curious.

I didn't expect something, just started to listen. It's not to bad, ... it's pretty slow but more significant it misses the poetic/idyllic almost idealistic touch this piece screams for (or is that just me ?!). Someone else described this version like Neumann in the rol of a wise story-teller instead of a poet and i agree with him.

Just listened to part of Neumann's Ma Vlast (Leipzig). I am not impressed by this recording. Boring ...
