Rossini/Respighi La Boutique fantasque L SO

4.25 GBP (2.88 USD)

La Boutique fantasque ballet arranged by Respighi from piano music by Rossini performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, conductor Ernest Ansermet.

For the benefit of those readers whose main concern with records appears to be technical rather than musical, let me say at once that I consider this disc to be one of the outstanding achievements so far of L.P. recording. Here is the actual sound of an orchestra as it really is, full-bodied and vivid. It is not merely that every detail is clear and that every instrument is given its true colour, but in addition there is a stereoscopic sense of perspective which, if you shut your eyes, could deceive you into thinking yourself in the concert hall. LS in the Gramophone March 1951.
