This is an extraordinary disc both in terms of perfomance and sonics.
The performances are perfect of examples of Paray in top form: incredibly energetic, vigorous, verging on over the top.
The sound is a bit aggressive in the typical Mercury fashion, but terribly exciting. The three-channel playback is superb, with dynamics that seem impossible from non-Dolby analogue tape. Soundstage depth is superb.
This type of music might best be heard in small doses, perhaps one track at a time in an evening's programming. Too much at once might push blood pressures up too high!

One of my personal favourites of the 'Mercury Living Presence' series - propulsive performances of music with 'big tunes', given up-close recordings with excellent bass - thank you once again, gkjoflm!
