Concerning Markevitch's SCHEHERAZADE lp:

- . (The silken Festivo and Universo vinyl pressings, or the rarer 1963 original, are a reminder of how much we lost when digital technology rudely “superseded” analog recordmaking and Dutch-process vinyl.)

- I picked up the record from Goodwill last week for $2 in absolutely near mint condition. Listened to it twice over the weekend and am in rapture with this recording. The mastering on the record is superb and very much stage forward. I don't have an audiophile-rated turntable or stereo but it is among the best classical records I have purchased. It is not a heavy (think Bach or Beethoven) piece, but most delightful to relax and enjoy. I smiled alot during the listenings. Highly recommended to the collector or someone who wants an excellent recording of R-K.

According to the following:

- This is, quite simply, one of the best-played and recorded accounts of Scheherazade ever made...
