Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker - Kunzel        (1 of 6 found this review helpful)

I don't know about 2 channel, ruxtonet, but in MC it lives up to TAS's review.One of Michael Bishop's best.A great alternative to the 2 discs set on Pentatone.
Vintage Cinema - Erich Kunzel        (2 of 2 found this review helpful)
  February 8, 2009

This collection of appropiately named vintage film scores was not recorded by the usual Telarc team with Michael Bishop in charge of recording.( Is this a sign of things to come after the recent announcement?) A new name to me of Robert Friedrich was in charge of the recording which was made in one ... more
Mozart: Symphonies Nos. 38-41 - Mackerras      (10 of 15 found this review helpful)
  July 23, 2008

Could not agree less than with the above comment from swestbom.A beautiful performance and recording fully deserving of the accolades it has won.If you experience any distortion then you should look at your playback equipment.The recording is nigh on perfect-close to provide impact but with plenty ... more
Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade - Reiner      (4 of 4 found this review helpful)
  April 12, 2008

When I read on this site about an exciting Mahler 6 from Gergiev,yesterday, I decided to play the only SACD of his in my collection, one of my first buys, his Philips'Sheherazade.The recording was as bad as I remembered it and the performance pretty average.

bargain of the year?
July 23, 2010
As most stores here sell sacd's for $35 upwards(and why I usually buy online),to walk into a shop yesterday and see a latest release for $22 with these artists, was cetainly not only a surprise but for me,a bargain. From what I have heard, I am also more than happy with the performances. Thanks again, Bis! ... more
