I listened to that yesterday and agree, nice selection of tunes well played/conducted but the sound was good only, not special at all.
The Williams is very enjoyable. What versions do you also think have excellent sound?

I am no expert, not by a long shot, but I do like some of the LSO under Colin Davis, LPO under Haitink, and the BBC SO under Andrew Davis
Listened to the new Blue Note vinyl pressing - they really are doing things right these days. Thank you Don Was.
Laura Marling’s “Song For My Daughter” - If you aren’t familiar, Laura is one of the most talented young musicians. I’d put her in a similar category as Joni Mitchell with her phrasing, guitar tunings, and ear for writing songs. Just brilliant.
