Budapest Live - Ivan Fischer          (7 of 7 found this review helpful)
  May 8, 2010

I’ve been intending to write a review of this disc for a while now, but time always seems to beat me. Anyway, here I am, and very pleased to be writing my very first review of an SACD here or anywhere else. What sort of a listener am I?

In fact, I can't remember any promotion of the formats whatsoever - although I tend to class myself as an advertising man's worst candidate. By that, I mean I don't think I'm particularly influenced by ... more
