Franck: Symphony in D minor - Gimeno | breydon_music - October 9, 2020

Sorry Adrian we are at cross purposes. Not this one at all; in fact I have bought it on your recommendation and find it in every way a lovely disc. I was referring to some of ...

Rachmaninov: Symphony No. 1 - Feltz | Adrian Quanjer - October 15, 2020

I wonder who does stream in hi-res. It would indeed be interesting to know which do, as many listen in stereo and would thus be able to profit from it. Some claim, like Deezer ...

Rachmaninov: Symphony No. 1 - Feltz | Adrian Quanjer - October 15, 2020

We’ve got to be careful here. Streaming services cannot stream high definition content, so they have to revert to what is on the CD layer. It is furthermore up to Presto to ...

Handel: Complete 'Piano' Concertos - Kirschnereit, Skou-Larsen | Adrian Quanjer - October 9, 2020

Saint-Saëns: Symphony No. 3 - Zamchokian / Munch | Michael Vaughan - October 11, 2020

So, how does one know if a recording has been remastered? I actually have 3 copies of this performance, 2 on vinyl and the RCA SACD. I believe they all have different masters.

Cannonball Adderley: Somethin' Else | John Smallwood - October 21, 2020

Superb SACD...each instrument clear and discrete with great "echo" creating a nice in-studio, live feel. One of the SACDs which makes you glad you spent money on the right ...

Franck: Symphony in D minor - Gimeno | Adrian Quanjer - October 9, 2020

I did not listen to any other releases in this series. As for this one: It is not unusual that reviews differ. One hundred percent objectivity does not exist, like my saying: ...
