Which performance is this?

I recorded 1st movement - Allegro maestoso- of Analogphonic M2 Bernstein and YT blocked it world-wide.

Decca Mehta - sonically decent but towards that end of the clip I recorded he is so rushed. This is Mahler 3, also on decca Mehta

Ooomph and menace come in different flavors. I suspect this piece could bring many a system to its knees – if listened to at volume levels approaching the live performance.

A little oomph, a little menacing, and a little eerie. On my macbook with headphone, one or two notches below max volume ought to be most representative of the in-room experience.

Welcome to the battle for Stalingrad.


Shostakovich 8th Symphony -- Third Movement


edit: Go to youtube to play this video.

The hORNs Universum is playing with 5 hours on a new Hana ML, a GM70 which while an excellent 14w amp underpowers it slightly, and the speaker is not in its usual place as the Lowther/Beyma cone speaker is in its place. 4k Chinese TT with arm combined.
