It's a great recording for early Sunday morning. With windows wide open, your neighbors will gonna love you for that 

All those angry and frustrated women knocking at your door - loving the imagery!

Dorati's 1812...and the Wellington Victory by Beethoven: stupendous sound image on floor spkrs!

I had that on CD years ago and found the sound painfully thin

Somehow, all this Mercury Living Presence recordings sound thin and bright on SS equipment. Try it with some tubes or hybrid. you will be surprised. They've used back then Telefunken U-47 tube condenser mics for the recordings, and listening on tubes restores that original sound much closer. More warmth, less hiss.

 

[CanadianMaestro]

^ You may be generalizing here. Dorati's 1812/Wellington sounds amazing on my SS floor system.

I have the Mercuy box # I and I never had that impression. No tubes in my set up...
One of my all time favorites is Brahms Violin concerto w. Szeryng and this doesn't sound any brighter than a violin in an actual concert.
I am listening with the HD800, unmod.

Apologize for not being more clear. As we are here in HeadFi, I was assuming we were talking about HP amplification. So, my comment re SS vs tubes, were solely meant for the headphones. Floor speakers are entirely different story, being always influenced by the room acoustics.

I toyed with getting one of the RCA or Mercury boxes, but I'm just not a "completist", and there just wasn't enough Beethoven/Mozart/Brahms in them! There is a LOT of Dorati in the Mercury box set.

No worries, understand completely. Recordings on HPs can sometimes sound compressed, giving one an impression of thinness.

Then I can only envy you 

 You must have high quality headphone amp. My experience with Szeryng's Kreisler CD is very sharp, almost metallic sound of his E-string, which is completely opossite of how he sounded live. If you have this CD, could you please check the very first number, Caprice Viennois. If it sounds good on your setup, then it's maybe time for me to get rid of my Schiit.

But I bought my CDs separately much before boxes were available, and it was much more expensive

I'm eyeing the Horowitz box set. It's massive - 70CDs. The recordings are listed below. I like Horowitz, just don't know whether many of these are truly "great" perfs.
