I am a sucker for beautiful sonorities like these: Lyadov's late 19th/early 20th century musical impressionism, the sense of something floating, shimmering in the hazy distance, imparted by ethereal strings, so serene. This is magical, cranial movie music, and it's been playing in my head as well as late night on the stereo.
I have a Chandos CD of Jarvi from the late 80's which includes The Firebird, and, while the performance seems ideal, there is an artifact of early digital in the form of slightly wiry string tones. Do you have a favorite to recommend, an equal performance in more modern sound?
Peace,
