Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings


We have a pretty big classical CD collection and many are Deutsche Grammophon. Many of these recordings don't sound that great and I have to say that some of the Deutsche Grammophon vinyl we have is average sounding. But the performances are usually top notch. After upgrading my cartridge to an Audio Note iQ3 I took a chance on some mid 60's Herbert Von Karajan/Berlin Philharmonic vinyl from Ebay. I thought I would share some of the outstanding finds I came across.

Brahms four symphonies-outstanding sound and amazing playing. These symphonies can sound thick and muddy. Not here.
Brahms Violin Concerto- Christian Ferras violin.
Beethoven Violin Concerto- Christian Ferras violin -Simply amazing sound.

Karl Bohm and the Berlin Philharmonic Schubert 5th Symphony. Elegant interpretation and excellent sound. I think from the 60's

A live performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto no1. from 1979 Carlo Maria Giulini conducting the Vienna Philharmonic- Sonically amazing.

I found most of these less than $15 and mint minus ratings- not bad :)

Not a great DG recording but an amazing performance of Beethoven's 5th symphony with Carlos Kleiber/Vienna Philharmonic. He was an amazing conductor! If you want to see a conductor that is totally in touch with his musicians and his art watch him on You tube - Jet
I just pick up near mint vinyl copies of Karajan's 1962 Beethoven Symphonies no 3, 5 and 7. These recordings sound very good on my system. Back in December I bought the complete set of the 1962 cycle and thought it sounded pretty bad but these individual records for some reason sound very much better. Actually they sound really great which was very surprising - Jet
there were several re-issues of the boxset...so it really depends which year pressing it is....
Jetrexpro, my thoughts exactly on the Berlin recordings. Those in the Jesus Christus Kirche were much better. As I recall, the change in venue was forced on him and he wasn't happy.
