Christian Thielemann and the BRSO perform Bruckner 5 "live" @ Herkulessaal München on June 30th, 2023 .... I never warmed up to this conductor, but here he succeeds on all accounts .... one of the best recent Bruckner interpretations for sure ....

Ansermet Memorial Album: His Last Recordings (London, 1969)

with L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, performing:
- Magnard: Symphony No. 3, Op. 11
- Lalo: Scherzo for Orchestra

EDIT: This is an English pressing, and it was immediately obvious to me when I placed the stylus on the platter.  The AQ sounds like a DECCA release, rather than a LONDON -- since the latter were made in the U.S. and typically had much less transparency than their Euro Decca counterparts. . . In other words, this album sounds really good.

The music is powerful too. I need to dig more into Magnard's body of work.

Saint-Saëns: Complete Symphonies / Jean Martinon, Orchestre National de l'ORTF (Erato)
Disc 2 
- Symphony in F Major "Urbs Roma" 
- Symphony No. 3 in C Minor Op. 78 "Organ"

 

HutchFan, I notice you recently played a version by Martinon from the '70's.  This version with Moura Lympany is from 1951.
