| Excellent recording of Mozart Jupiter No.41 ? Kmplerer/Philharmonia takes the Sym almost exactly as the Walter/Columbia, just a tad more guto in the tempo, maybe a finer orchestra as well. But like I say very very close performances. So I'd go Kmplerer. The Mackeras/Prague is excellent as wel... | |
| Martin Logan CLS 11Z speakers + which power amp? Hey Fb, I've moved on since last year. i have a intergrated Jadis amp, and will soon have the Seas Thor kit as speakers, they are MTM. Nice little speaker, but hopefully will intergrate a sub. Heard the Ascents at a friends house with Conrad Johns... | |
| How do you find BEST classical recordings??? Eldart, Yes the recordings of the late 50's thru say late 60's were best sound. ADD vs the modern DDD. The Telar/Mozat sym. cd i have with Mackerras/Prague lists all the different super mics, digital equipment used in the recording. But the B. Wal... | |
| Mozart Piano Concerto 21. Cdpunn,Is Barenboim with a conductor while he's on the piano? In Chicago I'm sure you get to see some big names. (New Orleans not much ever comes this way). If you get a chance check the CSO schedule for Hillary Hahn, not to be missed. If anyone r... | |
| How do you find BEST classical recordings??? Ok , yes its Sakari/Iceland. I enjoy the "big-band" style of Sanderling/Berlin, Segerstam/Danish, there is always room for various Sibelius recordings, all great symphonies. WOW! So you were a part of the Sibelius Sym cycle with the Iceland. Bravo... | |
| How do you find BEST classical recordings??? Buxter66, I just did a comparison once again on Sibelius sym's. Seems I was close to the truth, but now I fully realize that the Iceland may just very well have the best Sibelius complete symphony set, including the Kullervo. Everyone needs to lis... | |
| Mozart Piano Concerto 21. Not refering to Pletnev as pianist, he spectatularly peforms Rachmaninov's P.C.#1 and the Rhapsody on a Theme Of Paganini, as well an outstanding (if not best) performance of the Tchaikovsky P.C. Same for Ashkanaky's Prokofiev and Rachmaninov's Co... | |
| Mozart Piano Concerto 21. Buxter66, I'm not sure if you are actually saying that you don't care much for Oistrakh's style???!! You just can't be saying that? Oistrakh is known as a legend in all musical circles throughtout the world. On which recording of his did you get a... | |
| Mozart Piano Concerto 21. Pletnev,Ashkanazy,Anda,Barenboim,Fischer, these guys attempting conducting/piano, are the worst recordings in the catalogue. There is nothing satisfying about any of these recordings. The orchestras all sound way off,and either they are playing ah... | |
| recommended versions of Beethoven symphonies? hummm, I've read somewhere (Gramophone maybe), that there is some such thing as "Karajan groupies"...?!... | |
| Strangest Tweak? Take a pair of old speakers place them in the corner of your listening room, NOT hooked up of course, ...how will this improve sound on your listening speakers?????????!!!Strange indeed! | |
| The Biggest Disappointments in Rock and Roll Mick Taylor/ creative musician that never got the chance to really shine with Jaggers big fat ego around! Yes he's got some great moments, but there should have been much more. Like Jones before him, Taylor was the creative force! About Todd Rundg... | |
| Jethro Tull recent Remasters vs Mobile Fidelity? Always liked Anderson's Flute sound. Never said I did not. | |
| Jethro Tull recent Remasters vs Mobile Fidelity? Found Living IN The Past, web site Collecting Tull.com. The Mobile Fidelity release is like their early/midlife greatest hits, cool tunes such as Song For jeffrey, Love Story, Living In The Past, Teacher, Fat Man, Bouree, A Christmas Song. | |
| Most underated albums...... I saw Edgar Winter once, Frankenstein circa 1974, good show, but was a bigger fan of Johnny. Lucky you to have seen the Mahavishnu Live, WOW! |
