Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique - RPO/Mackerras      (6 of 10 found this review helpful)
  April 15, 2005

The Interpretation is OK, althought nothing special. I especially like the Roman Carnival. But the (multichannel) sound is a real letdown: It sounds as if a RBCD has been processed through a Dolby prologic II decoder: the surround effect is almost too strong and sound very fake. The whole sound ... more
Beethoven & Mendelssohn: Violin Concertos - Heifetz/Munch      (4 of 5 found this review helpful)
  February 21, 2005

Hearing all that praise for the RCA series I ordered the Heifetz disc with Beethoven and Mendelssohn and was bitterly disappointed, sonically as well as by the interpretation (at least Heifetz´ take on Beethoven; the Mendelssohn is played OK). They ARE 50 year old recordings and you hear it and ... more
Beethoven: Symphonies - Jaap van Zweden        (3 of 4 found this review helpful)
  October 19, 2004

I must admit to be a fan of historical informed practice and have listened mostly to Norringtons recording with the London Classical Players on original instruments.

FullRangeMan, I do not understand your hate against BLu-ray. Why do you relish in the thought the Blu-ray will sink in your country? It is just a way of offering high rez video and high rez music. If you do not want it, don´t buy it. Did Blu-ray hurt you? Many here in Germany thought similar during the last 2 years, while BD prices were much ... more
Blu-ray vs. SACD Listening Impressions
February 15, 2010
Yesterday I tried switching off the surrounds and the sound was much clearer. The surrounds are overpowering on this disc for me, which leads to the diffuse sound, so probably the 2 additional channels are just added to the surrounds, making them double loud. By the way, my Rotel prepro says "DTS ES 6.1 Matrix". On the other hand, I have movies ... more
