Amer 2,116 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Thanks @Richard (Star Wars I already have from before but didn't have the RCA Victor book edition. These Book editions with the laser etched cds are by far the best pressings. Sony's repressing over the years during their contract didn't add much. This special packaging with the original Mike Matessino notes is the one to behold until Matessino revisits the trilogy/saga again.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karajan for an historical performance, Vanska, for a modern one. The Barenboim boxset, was an error... I don't like him very much. I prefer Kempff and Paul Lewis. The blue box, it's "Bach: Sacred works by Gardiner", the red box make this one obsolete... but as I can separate myself of my old things... I keep it.

Jurassic Shark 12,086 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 You have a good taste. I like Vanska's Beethoven symphonies. Kempff is indeed great in the piano concertos, especially with the greatly improved sound of the most recent remasters. Waldstein is my favorite Beethoven sonata, and my favorite recording of the first movement is this: What's the smaller blue box next to the Gardiner? Fun fact: In Norwegian, gardiner means curtains.

Jurassic Shark 12,086 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Perahia's Beethoven is great, especially the fourth! I like his Mozart concertos too, but in some of the concertos there's something strange with the recording. I think I read somewhere it has something to do with being early digital. Brendel is also good in Mozart. And I see you have Szell, my favourite conductor! I'd wish they would re-release all his recordings in remastered sound.

Matt S. 493 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Got those for Christmas, but then I used some Amazon gift cards to treat myself to this behemoth: A whopping 57 CDs of music by the BSO and BSO Chamber Players, spanning 1969-2017. Given the timeframe, it's naturally heavily weighted towards the Seiji Ozawa era, and I know he has his detractors, but I am loving this entire set. The sound is unbelievable (I never knew that DG had the orchestra set up on the main floor of Symphony Hall rather than the stage!)...so far I've been listening to the most well-known pieces, like The Planets, Beethoven's Fifth, Tchaikovksy's Fifth, Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, etc, but I am very much looking forward to diving into the lesser known works. For the $100 price tag Amazon is selling it for, it's basically a steal, less than two bucks per CD (the BSO website is selling it for $200). I already have maybe a half dozen CDs from the set, but it's still more than well worth it! Jurassic Shark and Bespin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
