Holst: The Planets, Britten: Four Sea Interludes - Bernstein | Ben Leggett - December 1, 2021

Some have complained that the MCH mix is botched on this SACD compared to the original quad mix - I don't have that to compare against and it's entirely likely they're right - ...

Holst: The Planets - Susskind | Ben Leggett - November 25, 2021

This is a well-regarded recording, and it certainly SOUNDS great, as you'd expect from a MoFi. There are lots of recordings of Holst's Planets, but not very many in ...

Bruckner: Symphony No. 5 - Haitink | Athenaeus - December 1, 2021

Good point, Hiredfox! I dug around and, indeed, it seems BR Klassik originally produced two versions, an RBCD and a hybrid SACD. Perhaps they got their inventory mixed up. But ...

Mission of Burma: ONoffON | Downunderman - November 29, 2021

And if more encouragement were needed the average dynamic range figures favor the SACD. The 2004 CD comes in at 8, whilst the (2004) SACD is at 11. Not the last word on SQ, ...

Bach: 6 Brandenburg Concertos - Karajan | DYB - November 28, 2021

Bach: 6 Brandenburg Concertos - Karajan | DYB - November 22, 2021

Athenaus, that's very concerning news... I hope it doesn't mean anything long-term because I agree there have been many fantastic releases.

Bach: 6 Brandenburg Concertos - Karajan | Athenaeus - November 25, 2021

I actually wasn't going to buy any of these new Böhm releases either. They don't seem to be among his best recordings. But like you I have bought most of his Beethoven, ...

Bruckner: Symphony No. 5 - Konwitschny | Athenaeus - November 22, 2021

I listened to this disc for the first time this week. It's a very fine recording of Bruckner's Fifth. I found an interesting review of this Tower Records release written by ...
