Yes: The Yes Album | aubullience - August 25, 2024

Both the SACD and 45 rpm releases of this album by AP are the hands-down winners in their respective (hi-res and analog) formats.

Paul Simon: There Goes Rhymin' Simon | EugenF - Today 07:32 am

On the disc it is written: Made in Austria. On the cover it is written: disc made in Germany. Where is the true?

Kip Hanrahan: Vertical's Currency | Downunderman - June 26, 2024

Kip Hanrahan's work is quite idiosyncratic. Described variously as Afro-Cuban Jazz, Fusion and Latin Jazz but somehow those descriptions don't quite cover the overall vibe of ...

Hall & Oates: Rock'n'Soul Part 1 | Phillip Abbinante - August 25, 2024

Yes: 90125 | Paul - June 29, 2024

Van Halen: Van Halen | aubullience - August 25, 2024

Wagner: Der fliegende Holländer (Overture); Lohengrin (Prelude, Act 1); Tannhäuser (Overture); Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (Overture, Dance of the Apprentices); Die Walküre (Ride of the Walkyries); Götterdämmerung (Siegfried's Rhine Journey, Siegfried's Funeral Music)

Wiener Philharmoniker
Wilhelm Furtwängler (conductor)

Not until 1949 did Wilhelm Furtwängler invest in the Germanic interpretation tradition initiated by Wagner himself and continued by Hans von Bülow and Arthur Nikisch. His 'subjective' style of interpretation, deeply influenced by the theories of Jewish Viennese musicologist Heinrich Schenker was diametrically opposed to the more 'objective' Arturo Toscanini. Yet here we have the stunning lyricism contained in these grandiose pages that create the magic of the Wagnerian epic, illustrated by the incomparable Vienna Philharmonic in all its splendour.
