Kirill Petrenko and the Berliner Philharmoniker: The beginning of a partnership | DYB - January 14, 2021

I agree with John, I think the performances here are excellent.

Dvorak: 9 Symphonies - Kertesz | Athenaeus - Yesterday 11:58 am

Perhaps Tower Records will eventually release these recordings on SACD. They seem to like working by conductor. They have already released a few Kertész discs.

Looking forward to the comparision. Should be interesting

Mahler: Symphony No. 6 - Boulez | DYB - January 14, 2021

Wow very interesting response indeed....and what a waste for Esoteric to not have used the original masters. One hopes DG will do so - and soon.

Shostakovich: Symphony No. 8 - Mravinsky | Athenaeus - Yesterday 11:30 am

This is live analogue recording done in Leningrad in 1982. This isn't necessarily Shostakovich's easiest work to enjoy but Mravinsky and the Leningrad Philharmonic certainly ...

Bartok: Concerto for Orchestra, Music for Strings, Percussion & Celesta - Ozawa | Mr Acastos - January 17, 2021

Reference recording.

Dvorak: 9 Symphonies - Kertesz | Mark Werlin - Yesterday 12:08 pm

The 24/96 files can be purchased as downloads from Presto. Many SACD and Blu-Ray players can play 24/96 files.

"This is a live analogue..." I noticed the typo after the (rather short) edit window had closed.
