DEBUSSY-3 NOCTURNES/IMAGES: IBERIA-DORATI-DECCA SXL 6742/LONDON CSA 6968

This is the 3rd version of Iberia to join this list. It is also the second LP by the same team that made Gerhard's "The Plague", and in the same recording venue. The sonics are just about as good, and that's saying a lot.

The sound is very transparent and immediate. It is also full-bodied and natural. Especially satisfying is the female, wordless choir in the third movement of the Nocturnes: Sirenes. There are a few minor problems; the (rare) deep bass notes are not quite as solid and defined as they should be, and the sense of space varies because of what appears to be some "highlighting", but this is still a fabulous LP. This record is not very common.

SLEEVE: EX/EX+ (A LITTLE YELLOWING TO EDGES)
