This recording is in my library but has not been dusted off recently. I'll dig it out and listen again with your comments in mind Ben. Not immediately sadly as one of my ...

Let me offer my predictions about the future of the business... Facebook will buy Chandos and transfer all their catalogue to the Metaverse. Google will buy Ondine and use ...

Wagner: Das Rheingold - Solti | Mark Werlin - September 19, 2023

Jan Arell, thanks for sharing your health update. Treatment is a commitment. I was glad to read that the outcome exceeded expectations. 10 years ago, SACDs helped me through ...

Bill Evans Trio: Bill Evans at Town Hall | Ramokoff - September 8, 2023

There is no second volume. There never was. The part of the title (Volume One) is a little bit misleading :)

Bill Evans Trio: Bill Evans at Town Hall | analogue - August 25, 2023

I was a little concerned upon my first listen when the audience was pushed far back but once the music commenced, when I heard how closely miked Evans piano was.......I just ...

Xenakis: Pléïades, Rebonds - Kuniko | Paul Brouns - September 18, 2023

I wonder for what reason another brilliant SACD by Kuniko is not listed on this website, as it is also a hifi-release by Linn Records and sounds breathtakingly beautiful. I ...

Very much a left field choice. Why a revival of a 50's film score puzzles me. Where is the audience?

One of the great musicals - I think you may be surprised at the size of the audience.

Comment by breydon_music - September 2, 2023 (3 of 3)

Well I'm very much looking forward to this release, and I cautiously trust Wilson not to "opera" it up too much as happened with many of the musical theatre re-recordings in the last half of the twentieth century. We shall see! Meantime, can I be the first person to remind the compilers of this site that Richard Rodgers had the privilege of a "middle d" in his surname - just a small thing but there again I doubt that Beethoven or Schubert would ever have been similarly misrepresented here!
