Sibelius Symphony 5 LSO/Davis Alternate rec. (NYC!)









This duplicates the conductor/orchestra pairing for this work in the same year as an official release. Although it documents a different performance,
it is only an extra sweetener to enjoy the artistry of these workers.
This straight to CD Recording of Live Broadcast on WQXR NYC does have a bit of hiss audible in the quieter moments. If you like the performance, please buy the official LSO live CD release, which has vastly better sound anyway;
The London Symphony Orchestra has its own website from which they sell their "LSO Live" CDs:

That said, this is still a blast to hear! That wierdo ending with the quintuple hangups is never tiring. The LSO and Sir Colin Davis seem to be welded to one another's thoughts sometimes, as evidenced in long stretches of -even for these pros- gorgeous ensemble work.

Not the Christos who gave you the Paul Lewis recording. Great work. Keep up.
Could you please put a "caveat" when the origin of the recording is an internet stream?

Guillermo said...

Sure. This one was recorded directly from a friend's Oknyo receiver to a cd burner in real time but the hiss always shows up on these WQXR broadcasts...

I know 'bout the hiss from American sources. That's why I always prefer European sources. The best ones are from Scandinavia. Even BBC (digital or FM) has got some hiss in it's recordings.

Seems to have disappeared, would love if you could reload. Appreciate your postings immensely, of a special standard on the web. Always an inspiration. Best.

Sorry, unknown. here is the replacement for the victim of rapidshare's ageist filekeeping policy:
