Listened to this afternoon:
Dvorak, "New World Symphony," Leonard Slatkin conducting the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, Telarc DG-10053.
Very slow tempi in the first two movements; worked for me but won't be to everyone's taste. Wonderful sonics -- one of Telarc's best IMO.
Beethoven, "Hammerklavier Sonata," Paul Badura-Skoda performing on an 1824 Fortepiano, Astree AS47.
An absolute treasure, musically and sonically.
Best regards,
-- Al
