The Rite of Spring, San Francisco Symphony Orchestra conducted by Pierre Monteux in 1945.

From the Pierre Monteux complete RCA box which I just bought from local store before it disappears. Greatly enjoying this conductor in what I have heard this week, namely Berlioz, Brahms, Franck and even in Verdi's La Traviata. Great sound also!

Bruno Walter's version of Brahms' Second Symphony -- from this same cycle -- was one of the key recordings that drew me into classical music.

I LOVE Walter's way with Brahms -- and his conducting in general!   No one gets at that Gemütlichkeit feeling like Walter.
