Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings

Thanks very much, Jet. I immediately went online and purchased a few of the albums you mentioned

A really great sounding, classic DG recording is the Dvorak Cello Concerto with Pierre Fournier, George Szell and Berlin Philharmonic. The performance is superb and supplanted the Karajan / Rostropovich as my favorite recording of this piece. The tulip LP's are difficult to find in good condition, but the later reissue on DG's budget label is excellent-sounding too, and is easier to find in good condition.

Also in excellent sound with superb performance is the Beethoven Triple Concerto with Geza Anda, Wolfgang Schneiderhan, Pierre Fournier, Fricsay and Berlin Philharmonic. Same applies as above, don't be afraid of the budget LP reissue on DG Privilege. In fact, it sounds better than my tulip pressing. Go figure.

For admirers of the Berlin Philharmonic: NOT on DG, but a new recording of the Schumann symphonies with Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic - released on the Berlin Philharmonic's own label - is well worth downloading in high resolution. The sound is fantastic and the performances will make you re-think these symphonies. I bought the LP's also, but the digital beats them.

Fabsound, Glad you got a few of these better sounding DG recordings. No substitute for hearing the Berlin/Karajan from the mid 60's. That orchestra and conductor at the height of their powers.
Kmccarty- good info here. We are not subscribers to the Berlin Phil site but have listened/watched some of their streams briefly and they sound /look very good.

Another recommendation for a DG orchestral recording that sounds very good is the Stravinsky Violin Concerto, with Ozawa, Boston Symphony, and Perlman. 2531 110

DG seemed to use entirely different groups of engineers for their chamber music recordings and a much simpler miking philosophy. As a result, many of their chamber music recordings are very good, particularly the recordings with the Boston Symphony Players. Some examples:

Berg, Chamber Concerto for Pf & Vn with 13 winds instruments, 2531 007

Messiaen, Quatuor pour la Din du Temps (Qt for the End of Time), 2531 093

Stravinsky, Concertina for 12 Instruments / Ragtime for Eleven Instruments, 2530 551

Stravinsky, L'Histoire du Soldat, 2530 609

Carter, Sonata for Flute, Oboe, Cello & Harpsicord, 2530 104

Schoenberg, Suite Op. 29, 2531 277
.

We are amassing a large group of great sounding DG LP recordings. I for one am happy to know of these.

I was shopping for Berg's LULU suite on vinyl and ran across a Sony CD of James Levine and the Met orchestra from 1993 all digital recording. It arrived today. This is AMAZING recording quality. Depth and transparency for days. It includes Wozzeck fragments which I have not heard. I must say that I like Berg's music very much. Especially the Violin Concerto. His LULU suite sounds like Mozart on drugs.- Jet
