| 1094.1 | What about DSO with Dorati on DECCA? | UTRTSC::MORAAL | The ...... of this story | Wed Feb 24 1988 03:49 | 4 |
| I don't know this one. Who is the conductor. I myself have the DSO
recording with Antal Dorati. Despite his age (81) a brilliant con-
ductor. I am fond of this recording, as I am of his 'Le Sacre du
printemps'.

| 1094.2 | No way, Jose... | FACT01::LAWRENCE | Jim/Hartford A.C.T.,DTN 383-4523 | Wed Feb 24 1988 11:35 | 6 |

No, don't do it. The DSO version is not as good. The "must buy"
version is the ASO version.

| 1094.3 | The TELARC version | USHS01::PARRACO | Corporate Accounts - EXXON | Fri Mar 04 1988 10:24 | 9 |

I have the TELARC version, but cannot remember the orchestra, perhaps
Kunzel/Cincinnati, but I'll go home and check ... It is an awesome
recording tho'...
I'll try and check out the ASO version, check it out from the library

| 1094.5 | just the SUITE | DSSDEV::CHALTAS | Der Vogelf�nger bin ich, ja | Mon Mar 07 1988 06:58 | 6 |
| Uh, just a minute. Before you all rush out and by the Telarc
(Big Bass Drum) recording of the Firebird, please note that it is
the Firebird SUITE, not the complete ballet. If that's all you want,
then fine. If you want the whole ballet, look elsewhere.

| 1094.6 | Any ideas on the whole thing | KYOA::MIANO | Slava Iskusstvu, Vovyeki Slava! | Mon Mar 07 1988 12:02 | 7 |
| One more vote for the ATLANTA version. One interesting thing about that
recording is that it was the very first commercial orchestra recording.
I just got the score to the complete ballet so I would like to get
some recommendations for recordings of the complete ballet.

| A view from the other side of the Pond!!!
If you want to listen to a very contempary interpretation try -
The Firebird Suite - Tomita
This is produced entirely on Synths. It will also strech your hardware.

| 1094.9 | Directed by Robert Shaw. | FSTRCK::SATTERFIELD | If all men were brothers who would your sister marry? | Fri Jan 27 1989 17:27 | 8 |
| The Telarc disk of Strvinsky's Firebird Suite is by the Atlanta
Symphony and is directed by Robert Shaw. It is a great performance
with unmatched sound but the coupling of Borodin's Polovatsian
Dances may be even better. It includes the choral part as you
would expect with Shaw as the director. Once you've heard this
version it is difficult to enjoy any performance that excludes the
chorus.

| 1094.10 | Where can I buy the disc ? | ELWOOD::KAPLANL | smarm: that which is smarmy | Fri Jan 27 1989 20:21 | 15 |
| Re: .9
I wholeheartedly agree. I purchased the Robert Shaw/Atlanta version on
vinyl when it first came out. Indescribable. I used to wait until my
wife went out, then turn off the lights, crank the amplifier up to
"11" - just a � step less than where the walls would shake.
Sigh.
Those were the days...
... until the neighbors started complaining...
