mkrzych Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 What about this one: Beethoven - Symphonies 4 and 5 conducted by Osmo Vanska in 24/88 by BIS? -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art.

mkrzych Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Agree, the Vänskäs are ok to good, but my latest preference is now Paavo Järvi with the Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. It's not 7 bucks completely wasted, but you can do better. Anywhere with hi res to compare? -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art.

mkrzych Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hello, I suggest you to try listen to this album: eClassical - Stenhammar - Serenade 9USD for 24/96 recording and if you like scandinavian composers, it may be a gem for ya. -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art.

mkrzych Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Theremin concerto! [ATTACH=CONFIG]13553[/ATTACH] Don't really know this composer so much - is it worth buying… -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art.

mkrzych Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Does anyone know anything about today's offering on eClassical: Rameau - "Pièces de clavecin en concerts?" It is a 20-bit, 44.1KHz recording.Thanks. I am not an expert on this, but web-international reviewed it here, suggesting other record like this, but of course the price is much higher. Actually, the latter one I could quite like. -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art. It is also the most noble.

mkrzych Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Just noticed a new BIS release of Vivaldi's Four Seasons this morning. It is a newer recording (March 2014, recorded at 24/96), so there likely aren't many reviews out there for this. Reading the booklet for this recording, looks like several Guarneris and a Stradivarius were used for the performance. I've been keeping watch for a good recording of this piece, one of the first pieces of any type of music I can remember from my childhood. Any overall impressions on the performers in general based on past recordings? Also open to any other suggestions for the Four Seasons as well. There is also a link to a discount on Mozart Violin Concertos by the same group of performers on the page. Don't know about this release, but I have Grieg and Mozart by the same group and they're absolutely stunning! -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art.

mkrzych Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hindemith sonatas: the music is nice and well-recorded, but I find the German poetry heavy on the ear and disrupting. For Hindemith sonatas I could recommend this one, unfortunately not discounted.

mkrzych Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Today is the deal for Sharon Bezaly "Pine Dreams" with Richard Tognetti and ACO. Some of the works recorded here are dedicated especially to Sharon and one was done in the presence of the composer itself. Superb 24/44 sound with rather modern music for her 24-karat gold flute. I like it. eClassical - Pipe Dreams -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art. It is also the most noble.

mkrzych Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 If you like Bezaly, you might try: BIS 1729 The Busoni, Enescu and Faure pieces on BIS 1239. The Andriessen piece on BIS 1159. The Schulhoff sonata on BIS 959. Thanks. I will check it out, but the deal here is also Tognetti, I like his ACO and flute with orchestra. I am not a big fan of flute itself ;-) -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art. It is also the most noble.

mkrzych Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Today, last chance is to get Weber Overtures by Kantorow and Tapiola Sinfonietta. Excellent sound and enjoyable album. 9/9 on Classics Today and 4 ½ on allmusic.com. For 6EUR, c'mon. Take a look at the scopes. Huge dynamic range (example from song nr 4th). -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art. It is also the most noble.

mkrzych Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It is great to see that BIS keeps consistency in not compressing classical music. They need to be applauded for that. Side note: Robert Von Bahr as usual a marketing genius: [h=3]Very nicely played and recorded, but - in my view - rather boring music[/h] Well, it's just opera overtures mostly, but boring, well rather ornamented ;-) BTW, some seemed to like it: "An enjoyable disc, likely to be of great interest to Weber fans and to audiophiles.

mkrzych Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 For Schumann I have this record: eClassical - Schumann ? Complete Works for Violin and Orchestra and I like it very much. Today there's also Daily Deal with the same violinist Ulf Wallin and Pontinen on piano for sonatas. Take a look at it as well. Here is the sonatas review: http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2012/Mar12/Schumann_violin_BISSACD1784.htm -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art.

mkrzych Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Beethoven String Trios Op.9 by Trio Zimmermann. Pulled the trigger and I like it. Robert from BIS as well it seemed. eClassical - daily deal -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art. It is also the most noble.

mkrzych Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I am in exactly the same situation: I don't really fancy Mozart's violin concertos, but I took advantage of the special discount for Vol. I last week and much enjoyed the recording; therefore, I bought volume 2 yesterday. Well Tognetti and ACO are amazing. Try they Grieg as well if you don't have it already ;-) -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art. It is also the most noble.
