i could be down with that. i don't listen to a lot of digital anymore since i got my Rega RP3, but I'm always looking for new recordings of my favorite pieces
I particularly enjoy his recording of Kalinnikov's symphonies from Chandos. There's another composer that died way before his time. He's a prime example of Russian composing; strong melodic content with very rich scoring.
His Prokofiev cycle is just ok. There are much better interpretations out there. I've only heard a few, but I would probably put Jarvi's towards the bottom. Does anybody have any other Prokofiev recommendations, particularly his symphonies?
Here in LA, classical vinyl is always $2 a disk. Usually if you offer to haul it away for free, they'll give it to you.
