On a bit of a Bartok tear. Boulez and the CSO performing the Wooden Prince:

I got some Bartok for you, luv . .

Les Quatuor #1 and #2- Quatuor Vegh (Astree). Some of the best good sounding and real sounding albums I have (not enough) are from Astree and this one right here is one of them.

Boulez conducts Bartok. All his DG recordings at a nice price.

except not in 96k 24bit but good old fashioned seamless vinyl
An excellent recording that seems seldom recommended these days, which I am glad to have finally caught up with. Equally enjoyable as my Kubelik 9th. Othello overture is something that I hadn't heard before and is well worth a listen. According to the liner notes, Dvorak regarded it as one of his best pieces.

enjoyed the Luonnotar very much, rest was fine without being great

Dvorak Symphony #8 - Kertesz and the LSO
more excellent stuff

The recent Testament release of Berlin radio broadcast, Tennstedt with Berlin Phil peforming Dvorak 8 is quite impressive as well. Incredibly dynamic yet at appropriate moments subtle first movement.

Started with Yuja Wang's performance of the Rach 2. Unfortunately I just did not like it much. Disappointing, especially after her other releases, which were excellent, IMO.

Next up, a much better set - the Brahms Cello Sonatas performed by Pratt and Bailey. Strong interpretations in very excellent recorded sound:

I don't know if this has been mentioned. But it is a sweet little recording.

excellent interpretation - tremendous forward momentum, keeping the tension going -although in parts, I feel a little out of breath occasionally listening to it, a bit rushed, and that some contrasts/ changes of mood become underplayed because of the speed. The landler at the beginning of the scherzo seems indecently hasty. But then again, I'm a fan of Barbirolli's somewhat slower take on the 5th.

How did I not know this piece before today?!?! I've always considered Dvorak to be low-calorie Brahms. But this work is shedding a whole new light on him for me.
