L. van Beethoven: Symphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 21
Pretty much anything Anima Eterna does is worth hearing
Some superlative SACD remasters of some old favorites. Solti (along with Szell and Karajan) benefits disproportionately from recent remasters, as it reveals hidden depths that were obscured by poor sound on prior releases. Don't get me wrong, Solti will never be a Furtwangler or even a Haitink, but there's a lot more there than was revealed after the neon glare of the previous recordings is dialed down. The Mahler 5th, 6th, and 7th are all very nice:Tyson, Where'd you get those Solt/Mahler/Sacds? I looked at arkive music and presto music and came up empty.
They're not available in the US - they are part of a "Tower Record" high definition series from Japan. If you watch eBay, they show up occasionally, but mostly you have to know someone over there, or be willing to order it yourself (and pay pretty high shipping costs).
