Munch, Ravel Daphnis and Chloe, 1961 (Gold CD)
Just wanted to give a totally rave review. I have loved this performance since it came out--with good sound even for the RCA vinyl. Later I was overjoyed to find a CD put our by ArchivMusic (when they were still decent site!) though a Japanese issue of the RCA Red Seal. That was quite satisfying. But I could not wait to hear the HDTT remastering, and it is breathtakingly splendid for this big, sprawling, exciting, rich score. One listen, and you know this is head and shoulders superior to prior versions in sound, space (depth) and clarity. Bravo!! And thank you for restoring and making this 1961 version available. I'm in heaven. (And this with gold HDTT CD.) Wayne Wild, Belmont, MA

Excellent recording!
This rendition of Ravel's masterpiece is exceptional in both performance and sound. The string clarity and choral detail are superb. Highly recommended!!
The best historical recording .
This is a feast of unusual sound by the golden combination of the heyday Munch & Boston Symphony Orchestra. What a gorgeous sound it sounds. Chorus is also truly skillful, and together with the orchestra, under the overwhelming leadership of Munch, he is doing a truly clever scene depiction. With excellent mastering by HDTT, the performance got better and better.
