This is her latest.
@jim204 BTW, your "too closely recorded" was exactly what I was trying to get at with my "more forward in the soundstage". I also wish the producer had left slightly longer breaks between tracks. Otherwise superlative.
Classical Music for Aficionados
I would like to start a thread, similar to Orpheus’ jazz site, for lovers of classical music.
I will list some of my favorite recordings, CDs as well as LP’s. While good sound is not a prime requisite, it will be a consideration.
Classical music lovers please feel free to add to my lists.
Discussion of musical and recording issues will be welcome.
I’ll start with a list of CDs. Records to follow in a later post.
Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique. Chesky — Royal Phil. Orch. Freccia, conductor.
Mahler: Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Vanguard Classics — Vienna Festival Orch. Prohaska, conductor.
Prokofiev: Scythian Suite et. al. DG — Chicago Symphony Abbado, conductor.
Brahms: Symphony #1. Chesky — London Symph. Orch. Horenstein, conductor.
Stravinsky: L’Histoire du Soldat. HDTT — Ars Nova. Mandell, conductor.
Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances. Analogue Productions. — Dallas Symph Orch. Johanos, cond.
Respighi: Roman Festivals et. al. Chesky — Royal Phil. Orch. Freccia, conductor.
All of the above happen to be great sounding recordings, but, as I said, sonics is not a prerequisite.

@twoleftears Yes superlative indeed, that young lady has a stellar career in front of her she is astonishing. About more time between tracks I totally agree with you it hardly gives you time to draw a breath. I must say though that the recording quality of most of the piano recordings I listen to nowadays are superbly detailed and tonally awesome. I have been listening to young Alexandre Kantorow these last two days and they are all on the BIS label and they are I would say the best classical recording label out today. Their sound is so dynamic and detailed that I have trouble remembering I am listening through headphones and not in the Usher hall. A little tip here on the technical side of things here , I have just bought a new USB cable for between my PC and DAC. Is is a CAD 11 USB cable and it surely is a star . It cost a bloody fortune but it is worth it for what it brings in detail tone and just old fashioned enjoyment . Another thing I got was a filter that goes between my router and PC by way of the Ethernet. Another Eureka moment as it seems to clear up the gunge and digital noise from the signal. It is from Network Acoustics and it is called the ENO. If you want to radically clean your streaming then those two boys are for you. |
I apologize because it is not classical but i am in love with all great contraltos... Marian Anderson and Kathleen Ferrier are my 2 goddesses love... This young russian is amazing like his life story is... For male save for Fritz Wunderlich and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, who are my gods, in my next life i want to be anyway an "oktavist"... I guess i will be a Russian soul this time.... |
