| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @newbee I’m a big Copland fan and have the Telarc Kunzel recording of those works. It’s excellent. | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @westcoastaudiophile Where did you see that the P4600 is Class A up to 20W? | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @westcoastaudiophile That is my exact question. The meters never exceed 1 watt. Some here have said they are not accurate and don’t record peaks but I have them set to freeze at peaks. | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @newbee The Copland 3rd on Reference has been one of my references for years. Also try Robert Farnon’s works on Reference especially this Rhapsody for Violin I agree the Zimerman Ravel is a slightly better recording than Wangs but she is sp... | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @jonace Sorry didn’t know that. I was a big fan of Decca in Analog. Not so much in Digital. I’ll check out the Jurowski. | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @jomacr Forgot about Mahler While Solti was the best of the Analog era I just prefer any Telarc or Boulez on DG for recording quality especially dynamics and string refinement | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @jomace The Maazel Shostakovich 5 is a dynamic recording but suffers from early digital (1980) problems. Sharp highs. Try the Levi Atlanta Symphony 1990 on Telarc for a more refined recording with improved soundstage depth. But right now the best... | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @kmcong I agree the Dudamel Dvorak 7/8/9 are the best sounding recordings of those works. Just beating out Belohlavek on Decca which is also very good and covers all of Dvorak’s works. | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings Thank you. I plan to explore all recommendations | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings Thanks for the recommendations. I will check them all out. | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @newbee Actually the COE doesn't affect my preference.Unlike you I actually prefer larger Orchestras and prefer her recording of the 2nd Chopin over the 1st. I guess I like the larger soundscape that a full orchestra brings to the recording. Also... | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings Do you mean Zimerman Chopin conducted by Giulini? If so just the 1st is a Live recording and suffers from a poor balance. The 2nd is a better recording. However I find the Maria Pires DG recordings of both much better. More spacious and better ba... | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @drbond Sorry if you were asking about the Beethoven Symphonies by Pletnev they are CD quality and I stream on Qobuz. | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @drbond I have Vanska cycle on CD and I also stream it via Qobuz both standard definition. Sounds identical either way. I left LPs in 1998 when I sold my Linn/Koetzu and bought my first CD player. Never looked back. The system I now have is m... | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @jasonbourne71 The Leaper recordings are very spacious but to an extreme that they lack weight. No bottom end. Please listen to the Vanska recordings on BIS which are much better in my opinion. Spacious with weight and impact. Plus the performanc... |
