The Curse of Frankenstein 4K Restoration

Favorite 7ths
It’s March 7, so here are my favorite 7ths. Rather than blab for twenty paragraphs, I’ll let these things speak for themselves.

Some other recordings do that, but I don’t remember hearing one that didn’t have some disqualifying issue for me.
Also, a special shout out to Sir Thomas Beecham with the Royal Philharmonic. I like it as much as the ones above but figured I should stop at three.
