I made a promise to myself to listen to at least one new CD/album per week; whether from the library (Cincinnati's has a fantastic collection) or bulking up my own collection, or just borrowing from a friend. Every one of the Living Stereo discs I've come across has been a distinct and defining experience. I have Pictures and Fountains and Mahler X...

Though some of these recordings lack some of the polish or digital precision of new recordings, I heartily agree with Joe. The sound of the Reiner CSO was landmark, passionate, and contributes greatly to my understanding of the world of the symphony orchestra. I highly recommend taking a listen.

My two cents. Dan ;)
