Photo of the cover of the CD version of a 1964 recording of The Firebird and various other works by Stravinsky performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Antal Dorati.

Current #listening: 1964 Mercury Living Presence recording of #TheFirebird by Igor #Stravinsky performed by #AntalDorati and the #LondonSymphonyOrchestra. A comment and a question: 1 These “Living Presence” discs still sound amazing; 2 Is it wrong to prefer The Firebird to #TheRiteofSpring? #music

Robert Shaw on Telarc 💿 rel. in germany 1984,
