Zero Distortion: Tango Time

[kodomo]

I love this and have the Classic Records reissue. Dear @zerostargeneral which pressing is your preference for this one?

I found his Piano Concerto also great. The Orchestra is as much of a high light as the piano.

I was surprised how well this came across on my weeny desktop speakers. Brahms orchestration can be dense and the piano does not always get its fair share on recordings, but here very nice.

Here's another for comparo

You might be interested in exploring Brahms choral music which can be another challenge for a stereo system. For example
Alto Rhapsodie op.53
Schicksalslied op. 54
Ein Deutsches Requiem
Akademic Festival Overture op.80

Dear Kodomo,

My personal favourite is the 1s/1s original.That said the Classic records reissue is very good.

Kind regards,G.

If you can accept that a woman wrote this(I do)then you may appreciate the ultimate in modality and phrasing delivered here?

I've never encountered this website before. Excellent!

Why can't they make beautiful vinyl like this these days.

 

[Tango]

Good condition vinyl on Haitto is very rare. Bonzo do not deserve to own one. Should I want anything from him, that would be it.

incredible performance

Tang - since we are on Chopin, I hope you find this stirs your soul:

This gets the blood pumping:

 

[Tango]

This is the best Chaconne of any instrument imo. The vinyl is simply a treasure.

Invite him over again, tell him to bring it, then slip Bartok in the sleeve when he's leaving.
