Bruckner: Symphonies 7 & 8 - Solti | Gordon Lilley - November 24, 2024

This is a companion release to the Mehta Bruckner 9 but is rather less impressive, I fear. The Solti 7th was recorded in the Sofiensaal on 28th of October, 1965, just 3 days ...

Shostakovich: Symphonies 1-15 - Barshai | Dave Billinge - December 6, 2024

Given that my CD set cost less than £20 many years back, and given that the set is now on Discogs for just £2.18, this is very interesting indeed. But the cost to bring this ...

Bruckner: Symphony No. 9 - Mehta | Gordon Lilley - November 23, 2024

This is an excellent recording from the golden age of Decca/ Culshaw/ Vienna. Recorded on May 7, 1965 in the Sofiensaal, it was shortly before Decca embarked on the final Ring ...

Haydn: Symphonies 94, 95, 98 & 99 - Järvi | Contrapunctus - November 30, 2024

This album is also available on qobuz in DSD64 for the same price as the SACDs. I just listened to the complete album and quite enjoyed it.

Bach: The Vocal Works - Suzuki | Mark Arnest - December 4, 2024

This is a great set if you can get it at a good price and don't already own a lot of it. But it's not all high-resolution audio. It all sounds good, but the works originally ...

Obrecht: Missa Maria zart - Bull | Steven Harrison - November 16, 2024

Gramophone Early Music Award Winner 2024

Bach: Matthäuspassion - Leonhardt | Andre Vital - December 5, 2024

I‘ve just bumped into the SONY CD Version (2011), and it says that this recording was remastered to 24/96. I Wonder If this remastering/upsampling was the same used by BMG ...
