"Nocturnes, Op. 9: No. 2 in E-Flat Major" Frédéric Chopin
Arthur Rubinstein (1967)

^^Some of the best Nocturnes ever composed, played by a legend.

Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, my "Everest" 35 MM vinyl recording, can't find an image but I would also love to get his Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta on this quality vinyl.

Franz Liszt, Piano Concerto #1 played by Lang Lang. This was a new Sony pressing a couple years ago, sounds very good, nice to know they can still record vinyl of this caliber.

Speaking of vinyl. I came across this!

In The Hall Of The Mountain King~ELO

 

[LG]

^^That's a pretty good cover but not nearly as impressive as the real McCoy. Still I've always enjoyed rock artists taking a stab at the old classics and see how it comes out.

Played Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite" and Borodin's "Polovetsian Dances/Overture" yesterday, my old Telarc vinyl, a few crackles here and there but when the orchestra plays full out it's one of the most impressive recordings ever made.
