Essa-Pekka Salonen
Note: I have found the reading of Romeo and Juliet too cinematographic and clinical, very different from Salonen's previous one with the Berlin Philharmonic. For comparison I have included the Erich Leinsdorf album (1977) with the same orchestra (Sheffield Lab, plus Debussy and Wagner, flac , cue, log, scans).

Note: Wagner as Impresionist. Notable in every sense, with Terfel high on emotion. If you want the real thing, hear it here (George London - Hans Knappertsbusch- Wiener Philharmoniker)
