SOUND
Taking a break from High End Munich coverage (of which there's a lot more to come), makes time for Analog Spark's recent reissue of Bernstein Conducts Rhapsody in Blue/American In Paris (Columbia MS 6091).

This was the first "classical" album I'd ever bought, partly because I was familiar with both pieces, and partly because they both were stereo spectaculars issued at the dawn of the stereo LP era.
