The sound on those CD is very good, in fact I was surprised. The St Louis Symphony not always shines, they play sometime like a boxer who has his womb trembling to hit a person in a face. Hey, it is still better then our BSO that remind me a boxer who think that he hit a face but in reality he hits a womb….
BTW, if you are a fan of Carmina Burana then that St Louis Symphony have now David Robertson who is very interesting fruit. The 3-4 years back David Robertson lead SF with Carmina Burana with the best result I ever heard from this work. I have of air recording, if you wish I might share it.
Anyhow, those Vonk recording come under own St Louis Symphony label. I was looking more, hoping to find the St Louis recordings with Slatkin and Robinson but I did not find any…
