Thinking about your last paragraph, the better the system gets, the better even those gawdawful Bernsteins get. Which doesn't put them very close to Lyrita territory, granted. The only one I really like is the Bernstein/Graffman version of Rachmaninoff's Paganini Rhapsody (okay on LP, better on open reel tape). But don't even bother with the Rach Piano Concerto #2 on the other side.

Follow Ups:

I only have two Lp's which sound suspiciously "dull" all the way through: - jdaniel@jps.net 09:28:46 04/01/09 (0)
Bernstein's Copland 3rd Symphony on DGG, (my favorite, though I like Copland's own from '79), and Haitink's Strauss Alpensinfonie on Philips. One of these days I'll flip polarity.
