Going through my Prokofiev 6th recordings and forgot that I had Slatkin/NSO, will spin it now...



BOSS: Hey, graphic designer, do something for Slatkin's Prokofiev.
GRAPHIC DESIGNER: How's this?
BOSS: Okay, now just add something American and something Russian...
DESIGNER: Better?
BOSS: No, no, we need a focal point to draw the eye. Put in Slatkin.
DESIGNER: Okay.
BOSS: And Prokofiev.
DESIGNER: Okay.
BOSS: And a picture of oranges.
DESIGNER: Uhhh...
BOSS: And that one corner's still empty so put, like, sculptures or something.
DESIGNER: ...uhhh...
BOSS: Hang on, something's still missing...

Listening to my latest Classical acquisition - Disc 1: Symphonies 1 & 6.
My main interest in getting this set was the 1st and 2nd Symphonies which Karajan didn't record for DG. I thought the 1st was good although a little ordinary until the final movement (my favourite of the Symphony) which was handled really well. As you would expect the sound is better in these recordings than their DG counterparts.
The 6th in this set is pretty much identical to the DG performance so that's very good in my book :):
