Matthew Sweet: Girlfriend | Downunderman - March 14, 2021
Tone lowering 'bonus' tracks aside this a good SACD, but comes with qualifications. Whilst I have no doubt that the original master tapes were used, it is pertinent to note ...
Weber: Complete Works for Piano and Orchestra - Brautigam, Willens | layman - April 7, 2021
I did not like the Mozart series from these forces, so I am hoping that this one is better. Moreover, it is difficult to find (any) recordings of these (Weber) pieces so kudos ...
Vaughan Williams: Symphonies 4 & 6 - Pappano | diw - April 5, 2021
A new RVW cycle would be nice. Listened to excerpts on Presto, sound seems warmer than other LSO's I remember.
Shostakovich: Symphonies 9 & 10 - Noseda | hiredfox - April 2, 2021
Surprisingly good performances from an unlikely source. Full of energy and verve. Worth hearing. Sounds that will please the Barbican sceptics even.
Harry Nilsson: Nilsson Schmilsson | Downunderman - March 12, 2021
Great tapes and a great DSD remaster by Rob LoVerde at MoFi. The MoFi blurb upstairs is on the money and the disc sounds very, very good, albeit very slightly on the lean ...
Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 - Honeck | hiredfox - April 8, 2021
Most definitely a performance that will not suit every taste. SQ not the greatest.

I am a big fan of SS remastering, so will skip Esoteric and get SS instead.
The Moody Blues: Days of Future Passed | Downunderman - March 16, 2021
There is potential for a bit of confusion here. The 2017 50th anniversary release of this album (Cat# 670 089-7) that some people are referencing is not a SACD and is not a ...

This is Essa-Pekka Salonen’s debut live recording with the LA Phil. released in 2006 on SACD. Not quite everyone’s favourite and certainly not John B’s. Have the deficiencies now been corrected, I wonder?
