| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD I have von Karajan on Columbia Microgroove though not Beethoven and DG mono vinyl also. I wonder to what extent he recorded on Columbia. It would be nice to see more attention given to his other, outside of the mainstream repertoire. I've found it... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Thanks to both responses. I remember when visiting Berlin, hearing negative comments concerning the venue changes for the Philharmoniker, however this alone should not have influenced DG to the degree that their quality had declined. The Teldec re... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Either of you please, Lowrider and/or Brownsfan; what about the current DG recordings in these German cookie cutter concert halls. The hall in Köln is the same as in Berlin is the same as in Hamburg, etc...it's just Walt Disney. Do you suppose th... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Not to beat any dead horses (maybe it's too late for that) but Sergiu Celibidache was a masterful maestro and his zen like tempos have earned him somewhat of a cult like following. I highly recommend the Brahms, all 4 discs are recorded live with ... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Sorry, I mean't 'eradicate the problems inherent in those original antiques'.Tostadosunidos, I believe that most people would agree that expectations are higher whenever hearing a well known masterpiece though of course that's not to say that new ... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD It seems to be the trend however that orchestras are getting away from the golden era style of sixty string players with a silky sound, a sound which separated the Vienna from the Chicago, etc... However, Beethoven never saw such large orchestras ... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Sorry for showing up late. The Paavo Jarvi Beethoven cycle is on 180 gram vinyl from the Impex lable. I bought the cycle on CD while it was being released since Mr. Jarvi was finishing his tenure here in Cincinnati along the same time. I'm surpris... | |
| Grateful Dead fans, check out the "New Yorker" Nowadays I stay at home and watch the TRI Studios website or listen to the Grateful Dead hour. I never really liked camping to begin with. I'll request a copy from my local public library. Thanks for the scoop! | |
| Beethoven Violin Sonatas---favorites and recs I have that set and it's as fine as any I know but it's also a DG recording. Also, the no longer active Andante label released a box set of wonderfully remastered historical performances of strictly the 'Spring' and 'Keutzer' sonatas. This set inc... | |
| Beethoven Violin Sonatas---favorites and recs Have you heard the Augustin Dumay/Maria Joao Pires set? | |
| Mono Cart or Stereo Summed for Beatles MONO UK??? There are number of good mono cartridges, as I've been looking and comparing myself over the course of time. At the top are the Lyra and Miyajima mono's like the Titan or the Zero. There are the Ortofon SPU's for the wider grooves of the 1950's. T... | |
| Japanese pressings/thanks to unknown collector Since Jdaniel113 mentions classical finds, I'll eagerly share mine. I visited a record store downtown in the bar district where records are piled on top of one another, in stacks, on top of shelves and then there are even some in record bins. I we... | |
| Does vinyl have a sound? This might seem conservative but my record collection is somewhat restricted to mid or late 1950's mono classical pressings. The platters typically weigh about 200 grams and the sound engineering is primarily based on the make of instruments and t... | |
| Cartridge for Thorens TD-160 MK1 ? I have a TD 145 which is essentially the same table but with an automatic raised tonearm and shut off feature. I'm not a fan of the TP16 myself but am early in the TD 145 modification process. From my understanding given the advice of Thorens vete... | |
| Need recommendation on mono cartridge please There appears to be a variety of theoretical constructs concerning ways of designing mono cartridges. I wonder if all of these varying points of view will ever come together in agreement?But as for now, my understanding is that a mono cartridge wi... |
