The ultimate guilty pleasure 

I love that music -- and that recording -- too.

First spin of some new-to-me vinyl:

Spanish Music for Voice & Guitar / Elizabeth Suderburg (sop), David Starobin (g) (VOX/Turnabout, rec. 1977)

 

[HutchFan]

Next up:

Ravel: Daphnis & Chloe, Suite No. 2; Roussel: Bacchus & Ariadne, Suite No. 2 / Jean Martinon, CSO (RCA, 1965)

Recordings made during Martinon's ill-fated tenure with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, where was he was Music Director from 1963 to 1968.  Martinon was the first new MD after Reiner's long run.  That would've been a tough act for anyone to follow.  . . . Regardless, I'm an admirer of Martinon's music-making -- particularly when it comes to French repertoire like this.

 

[HutchFan]

Now spinning:

Albert Roussel: Psalm 80; Bacchus et Ariane (Suite No. 2) / Serge Baudo, Orchestre de Paris (Connoisseur Society / Pathé Marconi EMI, 1976)

Prompted to pull this LP from the shelf to compare Baudo's Bacchus et Ariane with Martinon's.

David Oistrakh - The Complete EMI Recordings (EMI Classics) 
Disc 12:

Eugene Ormandy Conducts 20th Century Classics (Sony)
Disc 12:
- George Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue
- Aaron Copland: Appalachian Spring
- Charles Ives: Orchestral Set No. 1, Three Places in New England 
- Samuel Barber: Adagio for Strings, Op. 11

Ormandy's recording of Three Places in New England blew my mind when I first heard it.  It was my gateway into the musical world of Charles Ives.
