I'm a bit surprised that there are no comments on this record (NB double entries, two different labels). It's one of those rare surround discs where you are seated in the middle of the orchestra. Not for everyone, I know, but I enjoy it. This recording is maybe a bit too much in that direction with the percussion snapping at your shoulders. It's a bit like those old stereo ping-pong demonstration discs. Not the only Pictures you should have, but it's fun.
Except for SACD's on the Tacet label, are there other classical records like this one where you are surrounded by the orchestra?
