What a superb performance, not to mention the fact that it's also a great stereo recording. I have heard this symphony just mailed in so many times that I was not only surprised but pinned to my seat for the entire symphony. Bravo.Su...

I don't know much about myaskovsky symphony, it looks like they go up to symphony No 27 but there are several missing (like the 2nd, 13, 18, 19, 21 23 if they exist ). It does say Complete Records. I can order and send if people want some help. It'll...

The Sixth Symphony is very idiosyncratic and I would feel that it has interest only for aficionado of the Sixth Symphony who might look for very different reading of the work. The 1812 in another hand is one of the greatest 1812 even committed to rec...

The "sound power" for a rock concert is 0.1W (~110db), lower then the 1W (120db) cited for Symphony orchestras.If ones goal is to "reproduce" symphony in all it's glory, one should aim for 1 acoustical watt at the listening position, or at least as ...

I never hit such a huge jackpot as I just did with the Lavry DA-924. The most funny in that even that I did it absolutely blindly. I had some minor beef with DA-924 sound: upperbass/lower midrange and the slightly too much extended HF (very very clea...

Glazunovs’ symphonies are not well know but his 5, 6, 7, 8 symphonies are quite good with some movements from the 6th and 8th are almost great. Glazunov’s composed 9th symphony, well, only first movement and then he died. The 9th symphony practically...

a very good take on ones 'motivation' of musical likes and dislikes. In fairness I have listened to some rendition of Brahms’s 2nd piano concerto and it has something more for me, yet it might just simply be more 'accessible'? Maybe it has some sort ...

I think I have 3 versions of Bruckner 8, 2 performances on CD. 1 CD is Carl Schuricht/Stuttgart, 1954, and the other is Herbert von Karajan/Vienna, 1988. The Karajan CD sounds better through my system, and I also prefer it in terms of the performance...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Interesting that if to leave aside the “tragic” context of the Tchaikovsky’s Six then I would say that I like the Tchaikovsky’s Fifth more then any other his symphonies. Sure it too much Slavic but it was kind of first Tc...

Well, the logistics of this symphony are mind boggling, beyond the issues presented by the score, and I have wondered which it is that tends to undermine the work, as I have heard it. It's not like M8 is "merely" a lot of musicians playing ensemble,...

I did today my first recording with Model 2. The configuration-wise it was very cool. The Pacific now in single-wire mode while it does A/B to 88/24 and the clock also outputs 88K. The single-wire mode is the reason why I moved from the Model One...
