Op.130/133. Superb.

I bought eleven Reference Recordings SACDs a few weeks ago. Really good SQ on all. One of my favorites is the Strauss:Elektra - awesome! I have most of their SACD library now.

 

[Bachtoven]

Wonderful playing and sound.

Try Kogan's Lalo Symphony Espagnole. Excellent also.

Try Kogan's Lalo Symphony Espagnole. Excellent also.

Both studio and the Melodiya live are superb

 

[Bachtoven]

This is still my favorite recording. Some newer ones might have a bit more transparency (although this LP still sounds pretty good), but I love this interpretation and performance.

It is this one. Bigbeatman is now increasing the price. 80 euros seem fine because this is a double lps album and it also has Kogan on Brahms which is my favorite interpretation and sound excellent also.

[Bachtoven]

Excellent sound and some staggeringly good playing from Verdery. This LP contains guitar transcriptions of Bach's Harpsichord Concerto In D Minor, BWV 1052 and CPE Bach's Harpsichord Concerto in A Major.

 

[Bachtoven]

Spectacular playing and sound.

Seems I've been fascinated with Rach.'s 'Symphonic Dances' for months. I've heard many, but my fave is Andrew Litton's on BIS...BIS-1751. Altho recorded in 'only' 24/44.1, perhaps due to the 24-bit recording the sound is very spacious. Of course the microfoning and recording site affect that too. The performance is muscular and not wimpy. VERY nice.

This $60 SACD sounds nearly as good as my used $9.99 LP version.

Really excellent performances of great music.
