The Oregon Symphony - Carlos Kalmar, Conductor
A Pentatone SACD, recorded in 2011
 
SA-CD NET gives this recording a solid five stars on both performance and sound quality, and the reviews from other sources are uniformly good.
Performance:  - Sonics:
As for myself, While the sound quality, dynamics, deep powerful bass, excellent orchestra, playing beautifully, Wide deep soundstage, great imaging etc. etc. etc.
But with all these great attributes, I'm not sure I really like the music. Maybe a couple more playings will win me over.
I bought the SACD because of a recommendation in this thread, so I will give it a chance to grow on me.
