Hit: 2 Stars
I am not a classical music buff but I bought Scherezade on a London Phase 4 lp by Leopold Stowkowski and the London Symphony Orchestra back in the 60's. It is one of my favorite albums. I haven't been able to find that version on CD so I decided to buy Reiner's version and Eugene Ormandy's version to see if either were close to Stowkowski's interpretation. I was very disappointed in this version. The quieter passages are so low that you have to raise the volume to hear them and then lower it again for the louder passages. Also, the violin solos, which I feel are the most beautiful parts of the piece, are difficult to hear unless you really raise the volume. The violin solos represent Scherezade and should stand out. The Eugene Ormandy version has much better sound and comes much closer to Stowkowski's version.
