Strauss Also sprach Zarathustra (1/9); Sunrise; Reiner

This sounds like the 1962 recording -- in the classic '54 the organist is slightly off towards the end.

@SportzNut21 Yeah, imo it's noticeably off in the '54, but that's part of the charm that makes it such a phenomenal recording. Also in my opinion the cymbals sound somewhat crisper in this version. Whereas there was an airer sound in the '54

bravo! Reiner/Chicago the incomparable!

Reiner's 1954 recording is the greatest ever made. William Steinberg's Boston Symphony version is close.

@Sinfoniette : Nietzsche's zarathustra is the greatest ever :) But this is fr*cking awesome too..
