Negative Positive
Title: Buy this CD!
Review: The wonderful Chicago Symphony played this like their lives depended on it, which probably wasn't far from the truth with Fritz Reiner on the podium. 'La mer' sounds great in this recording, but I was shocked when I listened to the two Respighi pieces. In particular, the 'Pines of Rome' sounds amazing. I've heard the piece before, but not like this. The CSO brass plays it with an unheard of level of precision and splendor. If you like this piece, definitely pick up this CD; you won't regret it. In addition, the sound quality itself is pretty impressive for a recording made 40 years ago on analog equipment.
