| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Loydelee, I haven't had a chance yet to hear anything other than the 5th and the 3rd. If I'm not mistaken, the new reissued Gardiner Beethoven has been remastered. I've been listening to the original release but am now interested in the newer set. | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD I just listened to the Gardiner 'Eroica' and I must admit that it is a remarkable performance. I read some of Gardiner's comments online about the symphonies concerning authoritative sources and Beethoven's own markings and notes and the fact that... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Does anyone know if the Gardiner Beethoven 5 CD Collectors Edition Archive re-release is any different from the original?These look nice;http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=733459Always interested in groups in or around my forme... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Loydelee, what I've heard so far isn't sub standard by any stretch, in fact there are some beautiful moments but the things that stand out in my head are those things that I mentioned. I suppose that this is how I'm wired. Yes, of course I need to... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Sorry, a lot of things going on. Surprisingly, I found a Konica II rangefinder in excellent condition as someone was throwing it out. But anyway, I listened to Gardiner conducting the Beethoven 5th and have to say that either the hall and/or the m... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Loydelee, I just picked up the Gardiner Beethoven cycle. I haven't even been able to look at the discs yet to see if they're playable but I will give it a try once this cat finds a chair. Yes, surprisingly there wasn't a lot on offer when I checke... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD This seems to be in competition with the Gardiner ;Beethoven: Missa Solemnis / Herreweghe, Collegium Vocale Gent | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Shouldn't HIP be HPP for historical performance practice? Then HIPP could be historical instrumentation performance practice. | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Kmccarty, thanks for the recommendationsI I found the live Kleiber d'Orfeo recording and I'm interested in hearing it but since I just ordered a Sandrine Piau CD, it will have to wait a bit. There's also a DG Original Masters remaster of Kleiber a... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Hey Loydelee, thanks! I requested the Gardiner cycle from my local library. | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Certainly Merlinus, I can appreciate a large orchestra with the best of them. I've had a variety of experiences with different groups of various sizes in situations that may or may not come off so well. One of the most interesting was a performanc... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Hi Loydelee, I know that I've heard it but I don't own it. Which label is it on, etc..and I'll see if I can pick it up. I know that I liked it when I heard it. Back when I took music theory I would always choose Beethoven scores to analyze and ide... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD I wonder if these choices in orchestra size aren't in many ways based upon familiarity. There are so many recordings from various orchestras that it would be hard not to find 50 wonderful examples of Beethoven's Eroica by small orchestras, large o... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Loydelee. his Stravinsky with the CSO is one of my favorites;http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=75678He has an advantage when it comes to the Estonian, Latvian. Lithuanian and Scandinavian composers. He conducts from underneath... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Keep in mind that it's more difficult to play an instrument slow and soft than loud and fast. The job of an orchestra is to play as an ensemble and not as a group of soloists. In most respects, I see ensemble playing as being the responsibility of... |
