In Reply to: Can't wait for your review. I wonder whatever happened to Gielen's? nt posted by jdaniel@jps.net on September 29, 2016 at 07:29:33:
The Gielen recording must have gone OOP - it can be had now at Amazon for a mere $116.93. But in any case, I prefer the Salonen recording even though the master is only 24/44.1. But the attraction of this new Chandos recording is that it's 24/96, and I want to have all those ultra high frequencies I'm entitled to, even though I can't hear them! ;-)
Come to think of it, I guess the Gielen recording may have had a 24/96 master too. (I don't know for sure.) Another 24/96 recording is the 2015 album on Hyperion with Markus Stenz and the Gürzenich-Orchester Köln. (Its 24/96 incarnation is only available on the Hyperion site AFAIK.) It exists only in two channels, but I wouldn't think that would be a problem for you. Who would have thought that we would have all this choice today - just in hi-rez, not to mention CD-rez?
