| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Sorry, a lot of things going on. Surprisingly, I found a Konica II rangefinder in excellent condition as someone was throwing it out. But anyway, I listened to Gardiner conducting the Beethoven 5th and have to say that either the hall and/or the m... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Loydelee, I just picked up the Gardiner Beethoven cycle. I haven't even been able to look at the discs yet to see if they're playable but I will give it a try once this cat finds a chair. Yes, surprisingly there wasn't a lot on offer when I checke... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD This seems to be in competition with the Gardiner ;Beethoven: Missa Solemnis / Herreweghe, Collegium Vocale Gent | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Shouldn't HIP be HPP for historical performance practice? Then HIPP could be historical instrumentation performance practice. | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Kmccarty, thanks for the recommendationsI I found the live Kleiber d'Orfeo recording and I'm interested in hearing it but since I just ordered a Sandrine Piau CD, it will have to wait a bit. There's also a DG Original Masters remaster of Kleiber a... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Hey Loydelee, thanks! I requested the Gardiner cycle from my local library. | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Certainly Merlinus, I can appreciate a large orchestra with the best of them. I've had a variety of experiences with different groups of various sizes in situations that may or may not come off so well. One of the most interesting was a performanc... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Hi Loydelee, I know that I've heard it but I don't own it. Which label is it on, etc..and I'll see if I can pick it up. I know that I liked it when I heard it. Back when I took music theory I would always choose Beethoven scores to analyze and ide... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD I wonder if these choices in orchestra size aren't in many ways based upon familiarity. There are so many recordings from various orchestras that it would be hard not to find 50 wonderful examples of Beethoven's Eroica by small orchestras, large o... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Loydelee. his Stravinsky with the CSO is one of my favorites;http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=75678He has an advantage when it comes to the Estonian, Latvian. Lithuanian and Scandinavian composers. He conducts from underneath... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Keep in mind that it's more difficult to play an instrument slow and soft than loud and fast. The job of an orchestra is to play as an ensemble and not as a group of soloists. In most respects, I see ensemble playing as being the responsibility of... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Loydelee, I like the Paavo Jarvi cycle but I am biased because I saw him for ten seasons with our orchestra in Cincinnati. Nevertheless, his interpretations make sense, for example the opening four note motive of the 5th is taken with enthusiasm v... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Loydelee, have you seen the Furtwangler box set from Audite. Here's the website; http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=220926I also have the Paavo Jarvi cycle on CD. They were released on vinyl also. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, much of what you said is consistent with comments that I've made. For the most part concerning a clear explanation of music in order to support a preference for a particular work and/or artist. Another suggestion that I made and I'll reph... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jazzcourier, so you believe that your speaking on behalf of everyone else? |
