Beautiful artwork, but have never heard this recording.
If you have the LP, I would like to see a snap of the back cover, please.

When, a few months before his death, Rachmaninov lamented that he no longer had the "strength and fire" to compose, friends reminded him of the Symphonic Dances, so charged with fire and strength. "Yes," he admitted. "I don't know how that happened. That was probably my last flicker."

No, but I exult in the CD reissue of this recording.

I may have to grab it, probably much cheaper than finding a high-grade LP at auction online.
Just wonder what the flip-side sleeve has on it - probably just text.

I have an LP box with the Requiem conducted by Munch. Unfortunately it's a different label, different performance.

Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

The cover shown is of the re-issue.   It came out originally in RCA's Soria series, since I have the cover the disc is somewhere under something.  I think the case had a plain back.

I heard Berlioz Requiem for the first time in that version, Munch with Boston (RCA). For many years it was my favorite version, but in LP.

But I must admit that I changed my mind when I heard the other version of Munch with the Orchestra of the Bayerisches Runfunks and Peter Schreier. It is very slow, severe, much more impressive. The Choirs are much better also. And the CD also includes a great version of Harold in Italy with a fabulous direction of Markevitch.

In one point I still prefer the version RCA: the Sanctus with Simoneau. It is unique.
