But we both loved the newly remastered Giulini.

Not surprised at all, as it's been my impression for many years, apart from some exceptionally successful Esoteric SACD remasterings such as the Callas Carmen, Dvorák/Kertész, Fauré/Cluytens, Holst/Boult, Lehár/Karajan, Mahler/Barbirolli, Mozart/Curzon, Mozart/Grumiaux, Mozart/Paillard, Mussorgsky/Ansermet, Rimsky-Korsakov/Ansermet, Schönberg/Webern/Karajan, Schubert/Kempe, Sibelius/Maazel, Sibelius/Karajan, Stravinsky/Pollini, Tchaikovsky/Fistoulari (of which there's going to be a Tower SACD soon) and the Wagner/Solti, that remasterings based on early digital recordings, i.e. of all categories the one that SACD aficionados most frown upon, is what the Esoteric team excels at.

 

Greetings from Switzerland, David.

The one I really want them to do is the Bernstein/Wiener Mahler 6.  Is there a request line at Esoteric?

The CD sounds fantastic. Do you really think the remaster will be worth the bucks?

 ... maybe the question is, "is any of this worth it?"  If such a disc does come out, I recommend waiting until a sucker like me or David buys it first and can tell you.

 

But if you like that Giulini/Wiener Bruckner 9, it's two thumbs up for that one.
