mkrzych Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Hello, I've recently stopped at this one masterpiece: Ivan Fischer, Budapest Festival Orchestra - Mahler Symphony no. 4 - Channel Classics Records. To me it is very accessible as for Mahler, yet very good sonically. What do you think? -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art. It is also the most noble. It is human emotion, captured, crystallised, encased… and then passed on to others." - By Ken Ishiwata Link to comment
mkrzych Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Generally, the interpretation is really nice, and with the obvious brilliant Channel Classics sound. The only weak point to me is the soprano, Miah Persson, in the last movement. Mahler 4, together with 1, are the most accessible Mahler symphonies in my opinion. In case of Mahler 1, what do you recommend? I like the sound of Channel Classics, much better than LSO Live for instance. -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art. It is also the most noble.

mkrzych Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 This one I've found also very enjoyable. Especially like nr 2 and 8.

mkrzych Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Some other Mahler 4 you might look at the old George Szell version on Sony/Columbia or the Haitink on Phillips. I don't know if either of these is available as a download though and would be rebook quality. Still the SQ on both is more that adequate and they are my two favorite performances. Not to take anything away from the Channel Classic though. Not sure which LSO Mahler 1 your referred to. If it is Gergiev I would agree. There are so many out there I would have a problem recommending one. I have 10 versions of it now. The Channel Classic is quite good, but there are some others I like better such as the Eschenbach version from HDTT which is my current favorite. Yes, it's Giergiev 4th. Don't like it, MUCH better is the one from BFO conducted by Ivan Fisher. Sonically as well. -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art.

mkrzych Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Two beautiful romantic string concerts today, that are excellent both sonically and for the interpretation: Dvorak: Cello concertos - Steven Isserlis [ATTACH=CONFIG]10170[/ATTACH] Both highly recommended. Listened a little over the Qobuz and I am really enjoying it - they have it in high resolution format as well. Seems to be another wallet opening again ;-) -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art. It is also the most noble.

mkrzych Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 You can also get it at Hyperion directly. Not a huge price difference between GBP 12 and EUR15, but you can buy pieces of the album, e.g. only the main oeuvre op. 104 for GBP 7.50. I'm not saying the rest of the album is not interesting, but most of the times I'll be listening to that part only. The second concerto is a piece from Dvoraks youth that he didnt' even orchestrate himself. I find it more of academic interest, although it has some beautiful melodies. Dvorák: Cello Concertos - CDA67917 - Antonín Dvorák (1841-1904) - Hyperion Records - MP3 and Lossless downloads Thanks for the suggestion Musicophile. Anything outstanding from Hyperion you may recommend as well? -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art. It is also the most noble.

mkrzych Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Sorry to everybody else for the OT: Guidof posted this recently, with Isserlis again and it is on my to buy list: Beethoven: Cello Sonatas - CDA67981/2 - Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) - Hyperion Records - MP3 and Lossless downloads There's a free download track that sounds really good. Isserlis another time with Bach: one of my favorite versions of the Cello Suites: Bach: Cello Suites - CDA67541/2 - Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) - Hyperion Records - MP3 and Lossless downloads Very funky format with 20 bit, I have redbook only. Another pretty safe bet on Hyperion is Angela Hewitt. She's well known for her Bach, but I can also recommend some others: http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/dc.asp?dc=D_CDA67306&vw=dc Bach: The Well-tempered Clavier - CDA67741/4 - Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) - Hyperion Records - MP3 and Lossless downloads Fauré: Piano Music - CDA67875 - Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) - Hyperion Records - MP3 and Lossless downloads Handel & Haydn: Angela Hewitt plays Handel & Haydn - CDA67736 - Hyperion Records - MP3 and Lossless downloads Finally, the Takazs Quartet has done some amazing stuff, e.g. Schubert: String Quintet & String Quartet D956 & 703 - CDA67864 - Franz Schubert (1797-1828) - Hyperion Records - MP3 and Lossless downloads There's much more. Hyperion is really a label that cares about music. Furthermore, their recordings usually sound really nice. Back to topic: On this, let me take a coffee break from work and listen to this, again from Hyperion: Brahms: Complete Piano Trios - Trio Wanderer [ATTACH=CONFIG]10255[/ATTACH] Oh man!!! Thank you so much, and I think this will be kind of guide for any future Hyperion recordings buyers! Thanks a lot for your time again. -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art. It is also the most noble.
