Jud Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 In any case, their recordings are usually way above average. I really can't think of one I've purchased that has disappointed me, and there are very few other sources of music I can say that about.

Boris75 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I really can't think of one I've purchased that has disappointed me, and there are very few other sources of music I can say that about. I bought 74 albums from eClassical and have been pleased with 73 of them musically and sonically. The remaining album was a compilation of contemporary Scandinavian tuba concertos. This album is very well recorded, by the way; it's just that tuba concertos did not do it for me, that's all. Link to comment

Boris75 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 It's this one that left me scratching my head: I must say that listening to it has killed my curiosity, so I am not really eager to check the other ones out. Link to comment

Moosbrugger Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I purchased this based on someone's recommendation: It's interesting, but I don't know when I'll be in the mood to listen to it again. I think this is the only download I've bought that I don't like: It was on sale for $4 or something. That guy's smile melted my heart and I couldn't say no.

Wow, really? I listen to "Crown Imperial" at least once / week! I'd say it's easily my favorite recording among ~5,000 albums (at least right now). I love the "title track", particularly, along with "Niagara Falls", which knocks me out every time.

Moosbrugger Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I'll give it another shot. I have found that some of my favorites albums took a few plays before I really appreciated them.* And I am really cheap. *Robben Ford "Authentic Bootleg," Southern Culture on the Skids "Plastic Seat Sweat".

Daverz Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Don't really know this composer so much - is it worth buying… I normally grab anything Aho, but hesitated over a theremin concerto. I'd start at the beginning: Amazon.com: Aho: Symphony No. 1; Violin Concerto: Music Link to comment
Leporello Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'm mesmerized by the beginning of this theremin concerto! Can't wait for the SACD (which will be far more expensive than this discount), this 24/96 is excellent Link to comment

Jud Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I liked yesterday's deal a lot (used to play horn in school orchestra- I was terrible) but got busy and neglected to buy it.

Bob Stern Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Track 2 "Profundo" in today's album of symphonies by Brazilian composer Guarnieri is excellent and is only $1.40. I don't care much for the rest of the album. HQPlayer (on 3.8 GHz 8-core i7 iMac 2020) > NAA (on 2012 Mac Mini i7) > RME ADI-2 v2 > Benchmark AHB-2 > Thiel 3.7 Link to comment
