What Classical Music Are You Listening To?

[Peter Friedman]

Op.59/3   and   Op.95

[HutchFan]

Now spinning this LP:

Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade / Mehta, LAPO (London, 1975)
A terrific performance enhanced by typically exquisite Decca AQ.

For this listener, Scheherazade is one of those works that never fails to cast its magic spell.

I just looked up the details of this set on Discogs.  It looks like it would be very interesting -- especially the Schönberg pieces conducted by Fricsay.

Would you recommend it, Chuck?

More interesting than compelling, but it is really interesting. The enclosed booklet is 90+ pages
