Mahler's 2nd Symphony - the Resurrection
I first heard Ormandy's Philadelphia Orchestra version (RCA Victor Red Seal LSC-7066) of The Resurrection on Thanksgiving Day with my dad in the 70's. The two-record set (LPs) had been a previously unappreciated Christmas gift from my cousin Tony Kimball. We had never listened to it until that day. A masterwork.
I rediscovered it on BYUTV this week - a 2004 performance by the BYU Philharmonic, BYU student chorus and BYU student soloists - that is as visually extraordinary as it is technically excellent. I highly recommend it. You can see the video feed and hear it in stereo sound on the BYUTV site (example: select 20 Jan 07, 6 pm performance).
