Boris75 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Kalevi Aho's symphonies No. 2 and 7. Pleasant music, well recorded, but I am not sure I'll give this recording a second listen any time soon. Link to comment

Savage Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I'm late to the party on this release but really liked Mazzy Star..nice to find new material. Bavarian Fruit Bread is the debut album from Hope Sandoval, former vocalist of Mazzy Star, and Colm Ó Cíosóig, former drummer of My Bloody Valentine. Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not." — Nelson Pass Link to comment
Boris75 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I'm really impressed how adventurous you are with composers that I've never even heard of! Thanks for the kind words. Since I upgraded to hi-fi from a mid-fi setup in 2011, I discovered that I could enjoy contemporary music that previously just sounded irritating. This, together with the re-discovery of old pop and rock albums, have been the two main benefits of hi-fi to me. In a way, I don't really need my hi-fi system to thoroughly enjoy the music I like best (such as Furtwaengler's wartime recordings of Beethoven and Bruckner or his post-war Brahms 1st in Hamburg), but I need it for more challenging scores. Back on topic: Aldo Romano, Threesome. An enjoyable disc for those who like jazz trio. Link to comment

Back on topic: Aldo Romano, Threesome. An enjoyable disc for those who like jazz trio. [ATTACH=CONFIG]5722[/ATTACH] I'll certainly have to look into this more. Any albums you'd recommend worth having? Could even be the subject of a separate thread. Back to topic: Wayne Shorter - Footprints (redbook). Probably my favorite Shorter album. Followed by: Mozart: Symphonies No. 38-41 - Mackerras - SCO [24/88] This Linn download is one of the rare combinations (like the John Butt Dunendin recordings), where great sound meets reference level conducting. This Prague is my favorite of all times, and I cannot tire of the Jupiter. Check out my blog at musicophilesblog.com - From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Link to comment

Musicophile Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Chopin: The Complete Preludes - Rafal Blechacz Rafal Blechacz is probably one of the most underrated pianists of today. Some time ago, I had the pleasure of hearing him and two other winners of the prestgious Chopin contest live in concert in just one week (which is quite a feat, given that the contest is only held every 5 years). The others were Maurizio Pollini and Krystian Zimerman. And honestly, the shy young guy who looked like he barely started university was the most impressive. As an anecdote: When he won the Chopin competition in 2005, the jury decided not to give a 2nd price, as the distance to the other participants was just too big.

Thanks for the question. It would be nice to have a thread about favourite albums and discoveries, maybe by genre? One I can recommend without hesitation is the one I listened to yesterday evening for the first time: Rimsky's Scheherazade by Reiner and CSO in its SACD issue. The music is extremely pleasant to my ears, and the sound quality is just unbelievable for something that was recorded more than 50 years ago. PS: thanks for the Blechacz recommendation. Would you know if it is available in high-res somewhere? I've not been very successful so far at locating high-res versions of recent DG recordings. Link to comment

The music is extremely pleasant to my ears, and the sound quality is just unbelievable for something that was recorded more than 50 years ago. Fully agree about the Scheherazade, it's a great recording (unfortunately have redbook only). Just to clarify: my comment was more directed towards the more unknown composers, especially more contemporary ones, that you constantly seem to discover, and share here. But a more general thread of discoveries would also make sense. PS: thanks for the Blechacz recommendation. Would you know if it is available in high-res somewhere? I've not been very successful so far at locating high-res versions of recent DG recordings. No, DG hasn't been too hot on high-res so far, Qobuz lists a total of 13 albums available as Studio Masters. Anyhow, the SQ is, as typical for DG, ok but not outstanding.
