Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 7 - Kleiber      (7 of 18 found this review helpful)
  January 24, 2011

The SHM-SACDs kills the 2003 SACD easily and by far (I compated 5th/IV and 7th/IV).

EMI classical SACDs from Japan: same titles/different code & price? (Rephrased)
November 9, 2012
EMI in Japan reissues within some months the same classical SACDs with the same sleeves but different label numbers and higher price. For example the famous Bruckner 9 with Schuricht and the VPO: TOGE-12006, 2856 yen, 2011/12/07 and TOGE-15013, 3790 yen, 2012/09/26. From the description the second one is not hybrid. Both are available. Crazy? ... more
