Point well made Jared!
I think this is the worst culprit I own....

No good looking women on these CD covers, but they do contain marvellous music.
Something of a Mahler Fest today:
The Kubelik/BRSO live recording from 1981:
Stunning, I can never suppress a grin at the start of the fifth movement, it is simply wonderful.

Had a bit of a Mahlerfest myself too yesterday.
Symphony No.2
Huge dynamics in the last 2 movements. For the first time I heard a tiny bit of speakercone breakup in the sound. The CAM350's were showing no mercy!
I havent listened to Solti's M7 in a very long time. Maybe sometime this week then.

You have it on vinyl, in case that's a consideration!

All of it is really terrific but the opening to the Fifth is just incredible. I had to put it on again this morning before leaving for work and I had it up LOUD too. It put a spring in my step.

What always fascinated me about that CD cover was how anyone in their right mind would allow their musical instrument anywhere remotely close to salt water spray!!!
