I've been enjoying his Mercury recordings included in the "Living Presence Box Set".How do his RCA recordings compare?
There are two box sets available, "RCA Complete" and "Recordings 1950-1959". Thoughts?

- As far as Prokofiev goes, I never felt that Janis captured the composer's whimsical side. That said: for vinyl - jdaniel@jps.net 20:48:01 03/4/18 (1)
- I certainly hear irony and sarcasm in Prokofiev's music - I'm less sure about the whimsey [nt] ;-) - Chris from Lafayette 00:10:04 03/5/18 (0)
