Stokowski Conducts Scheherazade



RCA Red Seal LP

Musically a very nice performance. Sonically it has very good detail and dynamics and very good tonality. Listening from the other room it sounds great. However when sitting in the sweet spot the soundstaging is somewhat off. It's a bit 2 dimensional, but what bothers me about it is that the ratio of height to width is just not natural. The images seem to large from top to bottom for the width of the stage it projects (which only goes from speaker to speaker and no further.)

That said, I really enjoyed the music, so this will be a keeper, even if it only for casual and not sweet spot listening.

Tried the MoFi version yesterday before changing amps, the bass sounded recessed, vague and ill-defined. Just played the Legacy version, now we're getting somewhere.
