Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring; Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 4 [Hybrid SACD - DSD]

Listened to my old Telarc LP bout a week ago- hadn't in a long time- and I thought the big bass drum whacks were gonna crack my plaster. I mean DAMN, they are HUGE! Made me wonder what audiences thought about this back when it was first performed. A thrill it was for me. No, more than that, scared the shite outta me.

Romeo and Juliet yet again, this time on vinyl.

I think this version is more dynamic, the BPO seems to bring more 'life' to the performance.

And after listening to Litton's Pathetique, I found this lp to have a bit more force behind it, especially the Vienna PO strings.

Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherezade; Tchaikovsky / Karajan [Original recording remastered]

Very nice version of Scheherezade, not sure what's going on with this version of "1812".

Tchaikovsky - Symphonies 1-6 & Orchestral Works [Box set] [Import]
Andrew Litton, conducting Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra

Darn - last track of last cd is scratched, time to get out the rubbing compound.

I bought this Denon recording years ago during a previous, aborted, foray into classical. I think it was because the sound quality was recommended. This 2 cd set does have excellent sound!

Mahler: Symphony 8
Eliahu Inbal and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra
