Best Recording of. . .

[dallasjustice]

I heard lollapalooza by John Adams for the first time at the Dallas Symphony a couple of weeks ago. I really enjoyed it. I usually don't like symphonies in that style but this John Adams piece could be a real audiophile go to symphony if well recorded. I only found two versions on Tidal and neither one was very convincing to me. What is the best lollapalooza by John Adams recording?

The search feature for Tidal sucks. But I found a really nice recording of lollapalooza conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas and its on Tidal. The rest of the album is superb as well.

I noted these recordings, with samples available - http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/w/38128. The first, by Nagano, is recommended by at least one site.

Didn't you start a thread saying that Tidal was not worth it?

He sure did, and I totally agree with him.

I can't remember reading anything from Michael saying tidal was rubbish fidelity wise...I think your aligning your self with a sentiment that was never expressed.

The Nagano one lacks low frequency content.The MTT one I mentioned is far superior.

This sounds so right to me, just as the artist intended (although I can never know of course). Piemontesi with the Scottish chamber orchestra playing Mozart:
