I've tried lot's of versions of Dvorak's B minor concerto, but this is the one that always blows me away.

 

A splendid disc in my view too. It was my favourite version until I listened to Frans Helmerson and the Gothenburg SO conducted by N. Järvi which in my view surpasses it in emotional involvement and, by a huge margin, in sound quality:

Back on topic: Manfredo Fest SACD, Just Jobim. Very nice music, extremely well recorded. I express my gratitude to Teresa who recommended this album in reply to a post of mine on this forum.

Yeah, I have the Helmerson version as well Boris. Indeed a very fine performance.

After listening to the first movement of my album above, I noticed I had the wrong recording in mind: the Piatgorsky, while well recorded, actually suffers from some sloppy playing. The one I actually really like is again the good old Janos Starker:

I wish the Fournier/Szell/Berlin PO (Deutsche Grammophon) collaboration were remastered and made available as high-resolution Studio Master download.

Whoo hoo!!! It finally arrived! After a 7-year drought, it was worth the wait.

Looks to be available at Qobuz at 24/44...there is is nice little handful of new releases coming out this year in higher res.

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

Brahms: Piano Quintet - Leipzig String Quartet with Andreas Staier

Highly recommended (but beware: less than 40 min on an album, a bit disappointing).

 

Followed by:

 

Manu Katché: Neighbourhood

Still my favorite Katché album, no wonder with those brilliant musicians playing with him, and very well recorded. November 99 is one of my regular test tracks.
