Description

Sheffield Lab limited edition direct to disc recording, LAB 24. 

Stravinsky, Firebird Suite (1910), with Finale, Debussy, Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun. Erich Leinsdorf conducts the Los Angeles Philharmonic.  See pics for program information.  These are among the best sounding orchestral recordings you will hear.
This one is much harder to find than the other two Leinsdorf/LAPO Sheffield recordings (which I have also listed).

Terrific sound, and the Firebird Suite is the interesting thing here.  Stravinsky's 1910 Suite uses the original large orchestration, while the more familiar 1919 Suite uses a much smaller orchestra.  The 1910 Suite has music that is not in the 1919 Suite, however, it ends with the Infernal Dance, and does not include the Berceuse or the Finale.  Leinsdorf here adds the Berceuse and Finale, in their original orchestrations.
