[quote user="mats"] The Brahms is indeed a lovely 24/88 remaster. I also ordered and received the Wand Bruckner 1-9 box from the new Sony series, and there is no mastering information on the package as far as I can tell. Does anyone know if the...

Can anyone help me understand why I find this music so utterly 'directionless'?It is a digital recording from 1981 by DG (Stereo 2532 003)I experience this Brahms recording in particular, as 'going nowhere' , directionless, as if put together by some...

Thinking of this discussion I just revisited a "time-related" post I made years ago:http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=9884Great work from Fritz Reiner, directing the RSO through Brahms' 4th Symphony, and perhaps worth a close l...

Hi Romy,In my copy the recording info is correct, it states it was recorded in 1967 at the Marinsaal.... (whatever) and remastered later, from an EMI recording.And going to the important. Yes, this is wonderful music, I never listened to that Brahms'...

Today was dark and rainy, and the electricity was much better than I have heard it for some time. Though I have not listened a lot since I did the recent changes, the parts seem to be breaking in nicely. Today I listened first to some Brahms Interm...

My original post asked: "Do you love Bartók?" - maybe you'd missed that?It was eluding to the famous novel's title by F. Sagan. Bartók's concert was just one of his compositions I'd listened too when writing the OP.Your response indicated to me that ...

[quote user="Paul S"]I will still buy clean Seraphims with good program material if I do not have the original. If I do have the original, I pass on the Seraphim, even as a "back-up", UNLESS it is a record I have loved so much that I am killing it.M...

Last and this weeks I played mostly LP records. I have only one arm and one needle setup after my move to new room – I did not decide that what final configuration I will have for my analog. Today, while I am in Brahms wave I played the entire box of...

Julia Fischer is coming in Boston in a few weeks with Beethoven Concerto and Mark Wigglesworth will lead BSO. I kind of slowly am contemplating to go or not to go. She is making a lot of good waves around the world… which is not necessary a good sign...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, for sure no one deny to Berlin Philharmonic rights to
make money. The boxes now cost $500 and I am sure that in 10 years Japanese

Anyhow, I do not buy these records but I a...

So I just need to click "open files" I add all the ones into a given work and the program plays them in a row. Probably sound quality is not near of what you get from your software, but considering how handicapped is the system I use, I really don't ...

Yes, I do know what you mean about Asahina. I have DVDs of a Brahms symphony cycle - 4 is good (not wonderful), 2 not bad, 3 is just plain boring (and it is one of my favourite symphonies). I haven't gotten around to 1 yet - t...

I share your happiness, although I only have the CD I can understand you, that 4th is wonderful.Would you share with us what other recordings belong to that especial shelf? I'd love listening to them if they're as good as the Brahms'... or maybe bett...

I understand. I wish I could go to the States anytime soon, but I'm afraid I need more holidays. In any case maybe you could, from time to time, comment us about some of them, whenever you listen to them or whatever. Some Beethoven, Mendhelsson, Brah...

[quote user="Axel"] Firstly, no form of criticism was implied, why at all? Bartók just seems to give you some form of 'empty notion' perhaps, as does Brahms with me. [/quote] I was not talking about Bartók. I told about the very specific Bartók's com...

The musical performances on the disc all seem excellent to me. I particularly liked the Kodaly cello piece which was new to me. The sound quality (when played on the ghetto blaster) seems pretty good as well. It certainly brings that machine to life....

Thanks for the compliment Romy - nice forum site you have here !!Yes, you really must hear the Tintner 7th - a very special performance, not just the opening. If I could only keep two 7ths I think it would be the Matacic 1967 & the Tintner....
