Surprised noone has mentioned Duke Ellington: Blues in Orbit.

Well I certainly have in other threads. One helluva disc! One of my all time faves.

Well sure... all you have to do is win the auction on Ebay.

hehe...

Thanks for the offer Rich, it was a valiant effort.

Haven't seen this title on ebay for a while now... use to see one every few weeks or so.

However, someone's selling a sealed copy for $129.99 US on Amazon.com.

Maybe you'd be interested.

I thought I was nuts for purchasing it for $50 USD over a year ago.

That seems a bit rich to me. Perhaps MoFi will reissue it at some point.

It certainly seems so. Dunno if MoFi will reissue, but maybe I should sell it in case it does.

I apologize to everyone for taking this thread off-topic, and I hope people don't think I'm using it as an opportunity to sell the disc.

Does anyone have, or has anyone heard this one?:

I think Sound & Vision gave it a recommendation.

I've got it, Marvin. I'm not a classical music expert, but I know a little Beethoven, and these are my favorite recordings of the 5th and the 7th in terms of performance quality. The sound quality is certainly acceptable, but not state-of-the-art by any means. It won't touch any of the newer direct-to-DSD master recordings.

But aside from MTT's Mahler's 6th and 1st, none of those new recordings can touch these in terms of performance. At least in my less-than-expert opinion.

Here's a full review of that disc: http://www.highfidelityreview.com/re...umber=18786010
