Shostakovich: Symphony No. 13 - Storgårds | breydon_music - Yesterday 10:51 am

Chandos' commitment to SACD is reflected in the scheduling in the next couple of months of a John Wilson 2-disc set of "My Fair Lady" and another instalment in Gardner's ...

Puccini: Madama Butterfly - Karajan | John Broggio - July 4, 2025

I suspect the execs looked at how much (lo-fi) LP re-releases go for and thought they'd create another slice of the action.

Puccini: Madama Butterfly - Karajan | onenairb - July 4, 2025

I would agree hiredfox. I got excited to see this release only to be shocked at the £/€120 price tag. Seriously! For a 2 disc release! Sadly I won't be purchasing at this ...

Shostakovich: Symphony No. 13 - Storgårds | EugenF - June 24, 2025

Most of this already released by Dutton, including the original Quad tracks. Only the Sacre du Printemps was not realeased by Dutton but by Sony time ago ...

Shostakovich: Symphony No. 13 - Storgårds | Adrian Quanjer - June 28, 2025

Rachmaninoff: Etudes-Tableaux, Preludes - Richter

Praga Digitals Reminiscences  PRD/DSD 350 083

Mono Hybrid

Classical - Instrumental

Sviatoslav Richter, piano


This romantic programme juxtaposes the best piano solo pieces of Rachmaninov, selected by Richter himself, and charms with his old-fashioned and romantic Russian approach, with elegance, energy and virtuosity, an irresistible balance between secret humour, power and native melancholy.
