I know zero about pressings, but the Kleiber DG has "signature series" written on it, not "Privilege". Same thing?Yes, I'd really like to catch something like that live.There will be a Beethoven Symphony #5 performed here in November. Conductor Andre...

Interesting, thanks, Jessie. I am not familiar with this one if I would not look under normal circumstances for London Symphony from 50-60s. As I understand 1958-59 it was after Krips lead LSO and moved to US, interesting… Another interning fact the ...

Thanks you very much Nic. It was alt of B4 this year for us, and this is good. I am not familiar with Stamford Symphony. Have you heard them, are they any good. Do the hall they play is comparable with Bruckner music?...

And evening. This Symphony Orchestra in need of a new conductor plays terrifically well for Salonen -- to impress him I think.For myself I grilled ground sirloin, cooked broccoli with a mint sauce and popped a bottle of '08 Monastrell from "35-60 yea...

I am pretty sure I qualify as a Neanderthal when it comes to Bruckner but I'm listening to his 4th symphony now and find it quite enjoyable. Even my roommate who thought I was listening to movie soundtrack likes it. It's the Herbert von Karajan on DG...

Eventually I heard today the Williams’ Symphony No. 4 that I like! Sir Colin Davis with BSO in 1973 – who would believe that Williams 4 could be so good!!!The Cat...

I'm wondering why people do not mention Bruckner 4th, while 5,7,8, and 9 were talked about here and there. I really love the 4th symphony. My most favorite is Wand's last recording with NDR. The one with Berlin Phil is great too. As an orchestra ...

Well, as I said – you never know. I was listing the live Friday WGBH broadcast over internet from my work (very bad quality) and when I got home I listen my recording. The Brahms Double Concerto I did not like, but the Bruckner 7 was very-very good. ...

I guess it never occurred to me how special it is to have a stable relationship with a woman with whom you can sit down, discuss yesterday's symphony over a bottle of Bordeaux, and then she tolerates you smoking your pipe by the fire as you read a go...

Lovro von Matacic was one of the great conductors who preserved the authentic late-Romantic tradition into the late-Romantic age.
He was a member of the Vienna Boys' Choir, then studied at the Vienna Hochschule für Musik. There he studied piano, org...

Romy,
When you say no good sounding Bruckner LPs do you mean no "great" sounding, or that all Bruckner LPs sonics are average or worse?
It would help if you gave an example of late 19th C Romantic music on LP that you did con...

Last few weeks Amy was playing with BPO, and it was surprisingly
good. Zander’s Boston Philharmonic is very strange orchestra. Sometime Zanders’
interpretations are just “survival” and sometime BPO do sound like semi-professional
orchestra. But so...

I never was a big fun of Pletnev. Even his Rachmaninoff’s Third Concerto (he plays piano), which many promoted as an “ultimate Rach 3” I found was unspeakably bad. Still, the “live” is live at it defiantly ads a lot of kink.
In regards of the recor...
