Mahler: Symphony No. 4 - Gatti | SteelyTom - August 8, 2018

I wonder how the RCO's in-house label will treat the slender RCO/Gatti catalog. Will the orchestra bother to keep his recordings in print? One gets the sense that Gatti had ...

Shostakovich: Symphonies 4 & 10 - Pletnev | Steven Harrison - August 12, 2018

I have this one now and have listened to both symphonies. I have all the others in the set and this one continues the fine sound. I'm not sure that this is the best sacd ever, ...

Richard Thompson: Rumor And Sigh | Mark Werlin - August 2, 2018

MoFi's description of the source for the SACD and LP seems unequivocal: "Mastered from the original master tapes." Perhaps the original CD label was incorrect, and the album ...

Mahler: Symphony No. 2 - Gatti | Adrian Quanjer - August 12, 2018

Mahler: Symphony No. 4 - Gatti | hiredfox - August 6, 2018

It's a great pity that Daniele Gatti has got himself embroiled in controversy and been dismissed as I was about to provide a glowing report of this new release of the RCO. ...

Vaughan Williams: Sinfonia Antartica - Davis | diw - Today 03:49 am

This is an excellent release. I wish Chandos would go back to rerecord Symphonies #2 and 3, etc, with the current forces. The sound quality is superior to the earlier part of ...
