I know it's early, But I'm listening to
The Essential Yo-Yo Ma
2 Disc Set Sony/Legacy S2K 93927
Nothing is more joyful than listening to him playing the Cello through my Tri-amped Magnapan MGIIIa's. It's like they were constructed just for this music, Absolutely amazing!

Jim

I'm listening to:

Albeniz - Iberia, recorded on RCA Living Stereo in 1961 by Jean Morel/Paris Conservatorie Orchestra.. This was the first complete recording of Iberia in orchestral form (originally written for the piano)

This is a two record vinyl album (LP) which I purchased in 1963 and it is as good as it was on the day that I bought it - which is considerably better than most of the modern classical recordings.
