Subject: Orchstral Synthesis (WAS: Can analogs pass...)

You're right. Sadly, while there has NEVER been a great selection (not just
for classical realizations, but ANY serious synthesizer works), it was sure
a lot better on vinyl. There seems to be no rush to get this stuff onto CD.

It's amazing that synthesizers have been around for decades, yet so
little serious work has been done in the area of orchestrating and
performing classical works. There seems to be a stigma of this type
of work being "classical lite".

Bob James, the jazz keyboardist, did a great set of synthesized
arrangements of Rameau keyboard works. Does anybody have any other
recommendations in this area, beyond Carlos, Tomita, and ELP?
