Mahler Symphony No. 4 - James Levine and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra

This recording almost feels delicate in approach and is one of the more romantic feeling recordings of this piece that I have heard

A Winchester pressing from 1981. Whoever got this album as a gift from Betty must not have redeemed the card.

Merry Christmas - This card is good for a dinner & movie w/ moi. Betty.

Sweet and romantic. Everyone deserves a Betty in their life.

Leonard Bernstein and the NYPO - Mahler Symphony No. 5

This version of the album is in mono and I agree with the critique that the sound quality is lacking. In some ways, the mono release might be better than the stereo. The later DG is a reference recording.

My wife introduced me to The English Concert and Trevor Pinnock many years ago. Their work on the Archiv label was always excellent. The record of Handel is no exception.
