Review title: Don't bother with this one--
Product review: This recording is another example of why the LA Philharmonic has never established any kind of presence on recording. Technically, it simply isn't very good compared to the other offerings from the Berlin Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, etc. etc. In the area of the standard repertoire, the recorded competition from Eastern and European orchestras is fierce and nothing less than a blemish-free digitally transparent recording will do. I would recommend the recording by Claudio Abaddo and the Vienna Philharmonic if you can still get it. Their performance is both effortless and ethereal. Otherwise, the older recording by Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra still sounds great and as always Ormandy makes this serious music seem understandable and accessible to anybody.
