Music lover since the age of 10, prefer classical music of the romantic period, but I also love operas, Mozart, Verdi, Puccini, Strauss; I also listen to jazz and classical pop, Beatles, Pink Floyd. Large collection of CDs, only few LPs. SACD enthusiastic since 2001. My dream: The great recordings of the Golden Era on SACD, operas of Decca and Deutsche Grammophon, Solti, Karajan and Kleiber senior and junior. |

Kazune Shimizu is a pianist whom I only know from his Chopin-Interpreations, also on the Triton-Label. I like these recordings very much, so I had a try with this coupling of these often-recorded romantic "warhorses". And I was not disappointed. Shimizu has a romantic, but a clear and not distending ... more |

I highly acclaim this release, because I missed a good DSD-recording of the Strauß-Walzer. Concerning the sound all is said in the above review: One of the best PentaTone-recordings, warm and full, compared for example with the new Schostkowitsch or the Mozart violin concertos, which sound a bit ... more |

Vivid interpretations of these lovely concertos, also with enough sentiment and warmth. Futhermore I have no severe complaints regarding the sound quality in stereo, maybe the soundstage a bit compact, but full bodied instruments with very natural timbre. IMO highly recommended!- My wishes for the ... more |

I have to admit that I did hesitate a bit before ordering this double-SACD-set, because I own the Starker/Mercury version which is very good. And I did not know Hidemi Suzuki before, but now I do! After listening to the suites several times I can say, that this version is another favorite of mine. ... more |

When I ordered this title last week, I was a bit sceptical, whether I would get another "quite good" interpretation. I love the music and have many good recordings, Karajan, Bernstein, Maazel, etc., and at least the very good DSD-recorded Fischer-SACD-version (Channel Classics). But as the recording ... more |

| Since 7 years my favourite storage medium is the SA-CD. But sometimes I buy RB-CDs (maybe 2%) because of the music. Now that Universal abandoned SA-CD, because Sony was not more willing to support Universals' campaign financially, for example I buy old Decca operas when they are re-released in the Original series (96 khz, 24 bit). I love them and ... more |

| Maybe I am wrong, but I think that Direct-Cut-SACD is an annoying marketing gag. Because a DSD-stream is a digital format, which can be put on a Hard disc without any loss, Direct-cut only can mean that the disc was made without post-production for example using the Sonoma workstation. This abdication of post-production, which, to my knowledge, ... more |

| Some days ago I sent an Email to Challenge records concerning the recording format. I was happy to hear, that it is a pure DSD recording just like the Handel concerti grossi SA-CD from the same team, which is great in interpretation and sound. Maybe this new release will compete against the Channel classics version? - Does anybody know it? The ... more |
