24/88 from Qobuz.

The Silos - Cuba

[DuckToller]

and because it is the First of May today , this will spin on The Rega Planar 3 (tradititonal folklore, once a year)

The Redskins - Neither Washington ... nor Moscow ...

[AnotherSpin]

The 4th Symphony has its own special place among all Mahler's symphonies. I try not to miss its new recordings. Not all are equally good, fortunately. Also, every Mahler lover has their own set of reasons for preferring a particular interpretation of a particular symphony. Most likely, the 4th was the very first Mahler symphony I listened to on vinyl many decades ago, and the surprise mixed with delight has remained intact. Czech conductor Jakub Hrůša's version is at the top of the imaginary list these days. A magical performance, all in place in a leisurely unfolding dream. No over-thought or protruding inner conflict, popular in some recent readings. Anna Lucia Richter is very good in the finale.

Forest Floor by Fergus McCreadie. A brilliant follow-up by the piano trio to Cairn which was one of my favourites from last year. Jazz with Scottish folk influences.

That's an understatement....

Maybe my favorite Coltrane album.

Great on vinyl, which digital version do you recommend?

[AudioDoctor]

I haven't been getting a lot of listening in lately due to my ear, however tonight I had a break in the ringing and was able to listen to this.

This is one of my favorite recordings too!

 

Jakub Hrůša and Yannick Nézet-Séguin are two current conductors whose Mahler recordings have really impressed me.

I have an SACD rip, which I'm pretty sure is from Analog Productions. Doesn't look like they sell it anymore.

Recently listened to Jurowski/LPO. Thrilling

I just bought the 24/192 remaster of Qobuz, with the currently ongoing Jazz special offer and the Sublime discount I only paid €6.
