Rachmaninov: 4 Piano Concertos, Paganini Rhapsody - Ashkenazy, Previn | Athenaeus - June 1, 2023

Indeed! In June they will also release Milstein's recording of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas. A great set! The thing is, though, that Tower Records released this one on SACD not ...

Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon | John Bacon-Shone - May 10, 2023

I am not aware of any legitimate DVD-A version. This is a (very nice) repackaging of the previous SACD, which sounds very nice.

Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon | [Current93] - April 15, 2023

This one is the Analogue Productions DSOTM 2019 SACD in disguise (mini LP package with original 1973 obi for quad edition).

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.

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

Whist I think Vanska on BIS [ non-sacd sadly ] is the best Sibelius cycle ever recorded I have not really enjoyed [ good reviews or not ] any of his Mahler recordings ...

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

Same goes for me, Contrapunctus! Like most of us here, I already have lots of Schubert symphonies in my collection. But I don't have much from Reger.

Williams: Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind - Gerhardt | Gurkensalat - May 16, 2023

This has nothing to do with my setup. MC recordings with ambience only in the rear do just that. While this recording has clearly discreet instrument placing in the surround ...

Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 - Noseda | Adrian Quanjer - May 28, 2023

Das war einmahl… Just for once, so it seems. What a pity! Despite the adamant encouragement from old hands like John, NSO has apparently decided to move from physical Hi-Res ...
