Stravinsky Firebird, Dorati London Symphony on Mercury. The big whack of the bass drum. Best on my original pressing, but the Classic reissue is also great. Larry
I've been following this thread. I'm just wondering if anyone has a jazz recording that produces goosebumps?
Jazz makes up over 50% of my listening and about 75% of my physical media collection but I can't think of a
single cut that's given me goosebumps. There must be a reason for this!
Even though this is transcribed from 78s (and was available on LP), Flagstad's voice with Furtwangler's conducting is the only recording I've encountered that really does justice to Strauss' score. It probably helps that he and Furtwangler were associates.
