I have not listened to this yet and I do generally like Mälkki. She may be a more "lyrical" conductor than some. I recently listened to her recording of Bartók's Concerto ...
Ivan Fischer's Beethoven 6 was one of the finest Beethoven performances of the modern era. "Eroica" is a far more complex work and it will be interesting to see what he makes ...
I bought this earlier this month in Hong Kong - it is labelled as a Chandos Classics release, no mention of Obsession. (P) date is 1966 (C) date is 2003, country of origin is ...
Yes, I too like Ivan's Beethoven. I look forward to this one, and more.
Pity about his missing the recording of the Ninth by one day in 2020 due to Covid restrictions coming ...

Part of the Blue Note SACD series out of Japan, of which there are quite a few.
Details on the source used for the DSD masters in this series are pretty sketchy, but the odds seem to be that we are looking at a conversion to DSD of the 24-bit, 192 kHz masters done in the mid noughties.
They are not nearly as texturally rich and full sounding as the Mofi jazz efforts. They have that clean Japanese presentation and something of a PCM character.
This title has not been released on SACD before, so comparisons are limited to existing PCM versions. I however have not any of these to hand.
Still, this title sounds pretty good all things considered and is certainly worth getting.
