Performance:  Sonics:
A Must! I was pleasantly surprised by this disc which I purchased without knowing anything about the performances. Superb playing of these warhorses. And the sound is gorgeous for this example of the Szell oeurvre. The Grieg and Bizet were recorded in '66; the Mussorgsky Pictures in '63

My favorite on here is up the with the three other great "Pictures": Reiner, Dorati and Toscanini.

Overall this is one of the best of the Sony Szells for sound and performances.
