What's Spinning Tonight?

Listening CD for tomorrow's concert: Karneval/Dvorak, Night on Bald Mountain/Mussorgsky, Peer Gynt/Grieg, Enigma Variations/Elgar. Should be a fun show, especially if I manage to play the right notes; last night's dress rehearsal proved why Friday night rehearsals after a very long week are a bad idea, especially when helping with setup cost all my warmup time!
Reiner's Scheherazade should be in every audiophile's collection. A world-class symphony orchestra at the peak of their powers playing one of the most colorful classical pieces in existence (IMO).

Why, thank you Lee. That is soon to be in an audio library near me. 
Currently listening to Dire Straights, Alchemy but I did enjoy a classical....well, more of a big band album on Friday night. It was the 40th Anniversary edition of Sheffield Labs "Still Harry after all These Years" with Harry James and his big band, live. I have had the album for years and i could kick myself for not spinning it earlier. I actually listened to it two times, back to back. Good stuff.
I'm not really a big Classical fan but that doesn't stop me from purchasing classical selections now. I'm sure that as I grow older, I'll be listening to more and more as time goes by and I'd rather pay reasonable prices now, then insane prices by the time I really start to appreciate classical and yearn for more. Thanks again for the suggestion, Lee.

The Living Stereo three-channel SACD is still available:
http://www.amazon.com/Rimsky-Korsak...350841441&sr=1-1&keywords=reiner+scheherazade
At that price, it's one of the steals of the classical audiophile world!

-----But which medium is best from Living Stereo - RCA Victor; the LP, or SACD?

That depends on who you ask I suppose!
I don't have the ability to play SACD (only Hybrid SACD), but I'm starting to slowly put together a small collection. I think I'll put the Reiner on my wishlist for my next amazon order.
---In October's (2012) Stereophile issue, Steve Guttenberg has an interesting short article right at the beginning (As We See It), entitled Accuracy Is Not the Answer
It's 'bout the LPs versus the Compact Discs (& SACDs & DVD-Audios too).
The last sentence of that short article read: "Analog may be far from perfect, but it still seems to convey more of that hard-to-define stuff that brings recorded music to life."
