[quote user="clarkjohnsen"]Must disagree with Romy that
the M8 is useless and without point. Just for starts, there's Goethe, the
tallest hero of German literature, and his Faust, of which schoolchildren there
must memorize significant portions. [...

Steve, thanks for the ideas, re-capped now in the other thread. And how often is the 4th movement of the 7th rendered and recorded intelligibly? Maybe it's only I who think the versions I have heard tend to dangle off the end of the symphony... agai...

Hi Romy,I knew that my asking about the cart used would make you to write the kind of comment you've done.What I've enjoyed most and exclusively of the disc has been the music, all are terrific pieces and some, like the Kodaly, Kalman and S...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"]At any rate I've already heard two pre-recorded DJ programs on CRB repeated later, both originating from other sources, as well as numerous waltzes and other super-lightweight material reminiscent of the old CRB. And they s...

There is a Canadian company - Atma Classique that has some very good Bruckner recording available in 24bit. Yannick Nézet-Séguin is yong but very interesting conductor with in my view very good grab of Bruckner. I have his 8 symphony with Métropolita...

Important thought I need to share with you all: try to make every piece of acoustical treatment accessible and adjustable for tuning by ear. This is perfectly in-line with acoustics theory by Skudrzyk (??????) and the great Wallace Sabine who defined...

Clark, of cause you might have any copy you want but I need to warn you that it is, in my view, very far from the “greatest Eighth performances ever”. The BSO history attributes to Tennstedt the great debut with BSO in 1974. It was a good debut and B...

The last night there was a broadcast of Marek Janowski leading the San-Francisco Symphony with Sarah Chang playing Sibelius’ Violin Concerto. It was interesting performance and also I might not like it as whole but there was something in there. I do ...

Well, glad to hear you are starting to 'get' Shostakovich, Romy. He has been one of my very favourite composers for many years. The 10th is my fave DSCH symphony - I have 10 recordings in my collection. I don't hav...

Hi Romy and other Nanut thread followers!Yes, the Mahler 6 is wonderful, I agree.Nanut's Beethoven 7th symphony is the best I have ever heard.His Bruckner 8th is the best I have ever heard - and I have nearly 40 recordings of the 8th on my CD sh...

Thanks for the tips. Tallinn is a sensational place to hear alot of good music (if a little cold for cockroaches) The tickets to hear the Symphony orchestra are about 9 dollars. The Estonian music academy also has free recitals almost every evening a...

I picked this up a few weeks ago and it has become one of those CDs that I keep returning to often. I don't know what it is about the Russians, but they seem to perform music with such passion. Maybe it is all of the suffering they, as a ...

This record I play a lot lately - insanely gorgeous music and very seriously played music. It is the Eugene Ormandy’s own transcriptions of Bach celebrated toccatas and the passacaglia, along with the Symphony for Double Orchestra. Generally I tend t...

Your request reminded me I had a recording of this music that I had not listened to for several years. It is an old London Blueback lp of the London Wind Soloist. I only intended listening to a couple of tracks to refamiliarize myself with the musi...

Yes, I am not at ease with the first movement of Carlos Kleiber’s version from 1981 as well. To me it is mostly about the orchestra tuning… The third movement in there I truly Kleiber-like: in the first movement they are juts tuning in and rehearsali...

As a matter of fact BSO has played many Bruckner Symphonies in the past decades. Honestly I've never heard MIT Summer Symphony before - so don't know how good they are. I met the conductor at a concert he did at Longy. And after a refrence from a fri...
