And, though the 1950 recording technique used in the 6th is not quite as good as one would have hoped for, the performance is, again, gripping and fully worthwhile (what modern one is actually *better*?

I really love them and appreciate the scans you provide with them as well. Too bad that Ormandy didn't remain as fine a conductor in old age as he was in his younger days. It's great to be able to enjoy once again his early recordings.Byrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12302379611288612848noreply@blogger.com
