Ladies & Gentlemen,
The above listed albums have been languishing in Tony's list for quite a while now. May I recommend both albums to you,as I have them already,as being second to none in both interpretation and sound.
Peter.

 

[Flimber]

Agreed. The Debussy one is gorgeous.

 

[Wolfmancatsup]

Thanks chaps - I've managed to somehow 'not see' those two! Just taken a punt on the Debussy...

Mick

 

[Nic Robinson]

Agreed again. The second of the Nocturnes is demonstration quality in recording, pressing and performance (imo).

 

[soileduk]

Mick, do you like?

 

[soileduk]

I think the Mendelssohn has gone too now. That recording has got to be one of,if not the best interpretation.

Looks like Mick got a good deal - if this is the version, it's only available used from Amazon for $25-.

Is http://www.amazon.com/Debussy-Orchestral-Music-Claude/dp/B00000417P available new Decca set the same recording?

The '50 Great Recordings' disc in your link has the same recordings as those on the expanded 2-disc Duo set that Mick and,indeed,I have. I don't know if the 24/96 remaster has any sonic benefit over the Duo set which doesn't sound bad in itself.

Thanks - will add the Duo set to my amazon wish list, ready for the next order.
