Popular Post austinpop Posted May 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2020 Thanks, this is fantastic. The Channel Classics catalog is literally like a candy store - so tempting! BTW - discounts seem to vary between 30% and 50% across geographies (at least between US and UK). AudioDoctor, semente and Musicophile 1 2 My Audio Setup Link to comment

I like some of them (particularly 1 and 4) but not all of them will be universally appreciated: https://musicophilesblog.com/2015/07/08/ivan-fischers-mahler-9-or-what-to-make-of-critical-reviews/ I guess that's a side effect of Mahler's works, even Walter and Klemperer who both worked directly with Mahler iat some point interpret his symphonies wildly differently. So YMMV as well. I hope you didn't interpret my comment to mean that the Fischer recordings are the best? Because — that's not what I was saying. That's a very high bar. The only Fischer recording that comes close to best for me is the 3rd. Anyway — the point I was making was that the FIscher Mahler albums at £8 and change are great value, and I've already bought all of the ones I didn't already own. They join several other worthy versions in my collection, notably the MTT/San Francisco and the Zander/Philharmonia cycles. Your preferences can — and clearly do — vary!

austinpop Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 @ted_b Ted, you may be able to clarify the provenance of the Qobuz 24/192 downloads from Channel Classics. Is my understanding correct that: older releases were recorded in DSD64, newer ones in DSD256 Mixing is done in DXD (24/384) and mastered to 24/192? This isn't a criticism — quite the contrary! I just wish more labels were as transparent. My Audio Setup Link to comment
