Aucoin: Orphic Moments - Rose | David Stanbury - May 27, 2023

This album has 2 discs of music. Oddly, the first disc is a SACD while the second disc is a conventional CD!

Beethoven: Symphonies 1-9 - Konwitschny | Contrapunctus - June 6, 2023

The only important work for me here is the recording of the Hiller Variations anyway. As far as I can see, there is not a single release of this impressive work on SACD.

Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon | Paul Hannah - May 8, 2023

Anyone heard this...............Is it better than the DVD-A that was released years ago ?

Rachmaninov: 4 Piano Concertos, Paganini Rhapsody - Ashkenazy, Previn | Contrapunctus - May 30, 2023

Esoteric is going to release these recordings on June 17th. Given the already brilliant transfers out there, I'm definitely not interested.

Mahler: Symphony No. 9 - Vänskä | hiredfox - June 6, 2023

Can't help but agree Paul on this Mahler survey.

Roxy Music: Flesh and Blood | SACD-MAN (threerandot) - May 17, 2023

An album filled with wonderful grooves, but the standout here is "Over You" when the sax come in with the keyboard and there is this incredible outpouring of feelings of joy ...

Jethro Tull: Stand Up | Downunderman - April 26, 2023

Thanks MW - I do wonder about the flat transfer of the master tape thing on occasion and this release is one of those occasions! It might have been better if they had dragged ...

Jethro Tull: Stand Up | Downunderman - April 24, 2023

Bit of a sow's ear sonically although the album itself is quite nice. The Tull would go on to do better albums but the kitchen sink character of this one has its charms. Ian ...

I recently purchased this set. I love it! I must admit I didn't know these works before. I'm surprised this wonderful music doesn't get recorded more often.

The sonics are excellent, too. Breydon Music strongly recommended this set elsewhere on this site (under the Stereo Sound releases of the Rite of Spring with Solti and the Suite española with Frühbeck de Burgos). I thank him for his comments and add my voice to his in recommending this set.

I agree. Lovely pieces and amazing that they were written when Rossini was only 12 years old and it took him just 3 days! I got to know them through a superb set on Decca (Argo) from Neville Marriner and The Academy of St Martin in the Fields (1967). They were, however, composed for string quartet. The modern set I have now on SACD is from BIS and is the quartet version too. Very elegantly played.
