Vaughan Williams: 9 Symphonies - Hickox, Davis | Marcus DiBenedetto - Yesterday 11:43 am

It looks to me that Job is missing from this box set, Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 9, Job - Davis. I really love Job and play it often. If it is truly missing, getting ...

Berlioz: La Damnation de Faust - Ozawa | John Broggio - June 27, 2022

I think it depends on the composition; BIS used "surround" for one of the Aho symphonies that have spatially dispersed musicians. Most compositions from Classical to C20 are ...

Eric Clapton: 461 Ocean Boulevard | Downunderman - Yesterday 10:17 pm

Well, it turns out that the corrected US master tape version of this release is quite different to the versions using (incorrectly, or otherwise) the 2010 SACD mastering from ...

Very nice sound. Clear, spacious, like a well-pressed record without the surface noise.
