| Jazz for aficionados I've been in the wings here but it seems to me that everyones experience, points of view and preferences are valid and of use to someone. I know of Mosaic, Analogue Productions and Mobile Fidelity and just recently Pure Pleasure with respect to re... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Rok2id,I rarely take reviews on Amazon seriously though admittedly some are substantial. I often post on and read from the Gramophone website and as much as I respect that magazine and its staff, I need to put things from Gramophone in there prope... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Brownsfan, certainly these engineers who are remastering in the SHM format have little time 'for wasting where with fools' as I would guess that there's an abundance of good material for them to choose from. They seemingly aren't dumb enough to re... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD That's a good question Rok2id. Brownsfan would you, or anyone else for that matter, happen to know the idiosyncrasies of the differing media formats concerning 'SHM', SACD, Redbook. etc...? It seems like these catalogue descriptions might confuse ... | |
| Mozart Fans Only 'Mozart led a pretty rough life, and only wrote one piece in a minor key.'Can you clarify about this minor key claim, Mozart wrote in a minor key much of the time, so this claim is puzzling to me. Whether he wrote in major or minor had little, if ... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Brownsfan, I assume that it is believed by most but certainly not all that the SHM SACD hybrids offer the best remixing and remastering available. That appears to be the competition for these larger labels like DG. Why DG can't step up their game ... | |
| Mozart Fans Only The Florestan Trio, Piano Trio recordings on Hyperion are delightful. There are two separate Mozart packages from the 'Andante' label that I would not want to have to live without. One of them is a set of live radio broadcasts from the Salzburg Fe... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Just curious, are there any favorites from 'Analogue Productions'? I have Hank Mobley' 'No Room for Squares.' | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Brownsfan, I didn't realize that these DG remasters were SACD hybrids. Just to recapitulate our earlier discussion; if DG allocates all of this time and money towards remastering the Von Karajan, then wouldn't one expect that they'd rival their Ja... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Brownsfan, what comes to mind are the Rudy Van Gelder recordings of the late 1950's and early 1960's. I bought a few Analogue Production remasters thinking that I would be front and center at a live event, no way. We've gotten spoiled over the yea... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Thanks Brownsfan, I'm glad you shared. Yes, the Japanese like raising the bar. I even saw a Japanese remaster of a CD just originally released in 2007, Keith Jarrett's 'Inside Out' and it's on ECM. In actuality 1963 was a pretty long time ago and ... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Learsfool, the Rene Jacobs operas are excellent and they feature the Concerto Köln in cooperation with WDR 3. There is also a 'Saul' by Georg Friedrich Haedel and it's superb. The Don Giovanni is with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and it's also ... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Learsfool, I apologize but I made an error, I meant to say the Vienna State Opera Chorus. I have the Josef Krips, Don Giovanni on vinyl. It's an 8 sided London mono box set which was given to me. I just wish that I had a better mono cartridge sinc... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Brownsfan, to refresh your memory, Josef Krips studied with Felix Weingartner in Vienna and became principle conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic before he was exiled out of Austria. I'm guessing that may have been around 1948 when that Krips Schu... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Lowrider, Brownsfan, I dare make mention of Josef Krips. Though not in anyway a household name such as von Karajan, a very intelligent and musical conductor. Of course it would be impossible to name everyone but he made some outstanding recordings... |
