I struggle to find words adequate to describe Bruckner 9
performed by the VPO, guided by Carlo Maria Giulini in 1988. I think I have to
use the term “Celestial” to conjure the sheer scale and the magnificence of
this symphony. Giulini has a good i...

JP,Try the 1990 performance by the Vienna Philharmonic with Bernard Haitink conducting. Its still available new on CD. Sound quality is excellent; interpretation very much to my liking, but that is subjective.The same performance was later offered al...

Well, unfortunately, or fortunately, Giulini with Vienna during this live 1988 performance have closed any imaginable interpretation of Bruckner 9. At least it is the way how I feel…. In Feb 13, 8PM, Herbert Blomstedt will be leading San Francisco Sy...

This edition, 26 CDs box-set, compiled and commented in detail by Juergen Kesting, presents recordings from Maria Callas in glory days, the first decade of her career from 1947 to 1956. This collection is structured on themes and roles. Mar...

God, Mats, thank you for reminding me about the Clark’s favorite recordings. I went over just one box and I have so many more! I wish I had time to do it, I had some time luxury a couple month ago as but not now. I do need to run that project through...

Yes, the Bruckner 9 by VPO and Giulini in 1988 is one of those few recordings
why I do practice High-End audio. The opening of the 3rd movements is probably the
best play I ever heard committed to recording media and one of the best compositions

As anyone else I have developed my own ways to buy music. Beside any of my current interests, I, for instance, have some conductors who’s recording I buy no mater what: Scherchen, Golovanov, Barbirolli, Bohm.... Among pianists it would be probably th...

I do not know, Antonio. The Beethoven’s symphonies are divert it would be difficult to point out a specific performance but rather an array performances:

I got today two new recordings, Bruckner 2 with Giulini and Wiener and Bruckner 8 with Gunter Wand. The Bruckner 2 was very much not what I expected, not to mention that sound on this Testament CD was horrible, but the Bruckner 8 was a truly somethin...

It is hard to explain but it is different. When I sit in my chair and play something then there is a very distinct deference between the events when I play Bruckner and non Bruckner. In fact I think I listen differently Bruckner and non-Bruckner musi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Please, please, please, the British folks, make sure that you have download, record or whatever you do the last night Bruckner 8 performance. Leave the hornblende Bach plaing in the first part alone and preserve that Brucke...

Hm…. Listening Bruckner more than I am willing to admit publicly without fear of incriminating myself I need to say that have slightly different approach to Bruckner. First of all I do not differentiate different revision of Bruckner symphonies. I k...

Nope, I am not going to threaten you with one of those threads “what would be the best…?” Still, the Wiener Philharmoniker has a CD of the “Best Of Wiener Philharmoniker”… witch is… surprise, surprise IS the best they play. Well, I would say that the...

I started this thread on November 22 last year, or about 6 month ago. 3 years back I went for single stage amps and 6 month ago I begin to conceptualize a move for a higher gain for MF and consequentially the DHT in output stage. Today the new MF...

Well, I loved, loved it loved it… but today I decided to experiment with integration the new horn into the system and learned that it would be far much complicated and take more efforts. Below are 3 sweeps form listening position, Firs is the new hor...

I came across a mystery today that I have absolutely no explanation.
Like many others I like the Brahms #4 symphony. I have my favorite: my beloved Barbirolli with Vienna during the Musikvereinssaal 1967 . I also a big admirer of Carlo Maria G...

Scooter, I was thinking myself if it was a pirated CD and I very carefully inspected it, I did not found any signs of not authenticity but I am not expect in it. To me it looks like a legitimate DG album. Though I admit that with contemporary mea...

Like with anything else in music industry there are general negative or positive tendencies and there are the very specific and very barbaric efforts of selected individuals who are far out of margins. The case to point my recent events with Penn...

I did a lot of listening lately and observed that there is
something in my sounds that I do not like. Over the years, one of my primary indications
of a properly built playback was the sentiments I'm getting from my recordings.
One of them is ...

Unquestionably to me, piano concertos are the very much The Concertos for an instrument and orchestras. My second favorite is Cello Concertos. The violin concertos are popular and they great but I frequently find that they might be annoying, particul...
