| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Brownsfan, will you give us a report once it arrives? Spending $60.00 for a Japanese import seems a bit steep, I hope the DG copy will not disappoint. | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD We could start with something familiar;http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/39716/Karl_Bohm-Brahms_Symphony_No_1-200_Gram_Vinyl_Record | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Are these the Japanese remasters found on the Acoustic Sounds website or are they DG remasters? | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Lowrider and Brownsfan, I have a Furtwängler set on the Orfeo D' Or label that I want to recommend for these reasons;A) The remastering was taken from the original source.B) They are live performances from the Salzburg Festival 1949-1954 with the... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Thanks Lowrider, I'll look into that set ASAP. In general I've found that I tire of repeated performances. Not to say that their aren't enough performances on recording but I've been listening more for various interpretations, spontaneity in the c... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD I have von Karajan on Columbia Microgroove though not Beethoven and DG mono vinyl also. I wonder to what extent he recorded on Columbia. It would be nice to see more attention given to his other, outside of the mainstream repertoire. I've found it... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Thanks to both responses. I remember when visiting Berlin, hearing negative comments concerning the venue changes for the Philharmoniker, however this alone should not have influenced DG to the degree that their quality had declined. The Teldec re... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Either of you please, Lowrider and/or Brownsfan; what about the current DG recordings in these German cookie cutter concert halls. The hall in Köln is the same as in Berlin is the same as in Hamburg, etc...it's just Walt Disney. Do you suppose th... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Not to beat any dead horses (maybe it's too late for that) but Sergiu Celibidache was a masterful maestro and his zen like tempos have earned him somewhat of a cult like following. I highly recommend the Brahms, all 4 discs are recorded live with ... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Sorry, I mean't 'eradicate the problems inherent in those original antiques'.Tostadosunidos, I believe that most people would agree that expectations are higher whenever hearing a well known masterpiece though of course that's not to say that new ... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD It seems to be the trend however that orchestras are getting away from the golden era style of sixty string players with a silky sound, a sound which separated the Vienna from the Chicago, etc... However, Beethoven never saw such large orchestras ... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Sorry for showing up late. The Paavo Jarvi Beethoven cycle is on 180 gram vinyl from the Impex lable. I bought the cycle on CD while it was being released since Mr. Jarvi was finishing his tenure here in Cincinnati along the same time. I'm surpris... | |
| Grateful Dead fans, check out the "New Yorker" Nowadays I stay at home and watch the TRI Studios website or listen to the Grateful Dead hour. I never really liked camping to begin with. I'll request a copy from my local public library. Thanks for the scoop! | |
| Beethoven Violin Sonatas---favorites and recs I have that set and it's as fine as any I know but it's also a DG recording. Also, the no longer active Andante label released a box set of wonderfully remastered historical performances of strictly the 'Spring' and 'Keutzer' sonatas. This set inc... | |
