Also sprach Zarathustra

I've heard the Nelsons/Leipzig recording - it's in Dolby Atmos on Apple Music and I love it. Apple Music also has the Nelsons/Birmingham recording and (surprisingly) the Djong Victorin Yu / Philharmonia recording, but neither of these are available in Atmos. Other Atmos recordings of the work on Apple Music (none of which I've heard yet) include Jansons/Concertgebouw, Roth/LSO, Santu/Philharmonia, and Chailly/Lucerne.

Others in my own faves list include: Steinberg/BSO in its quad incarnation on blu-ray and Kempe/Sk Dresden, also in quad on a DVD-Audio. Of the two Reiner/Chicago recordings, I prefer the later 1962 version - mainly because the organ and the orchestra are so out of tune with each other in the 1954 recording! No wonder they wanted to do a remake only eight years later!
