Seriously, Somy on order,should have by next Sunday. I really can't stand typing on a tablet anyway, so good riddance.
Can't wait to start downloading. Was thrilled to discover that HDTT digitized Stravinsly's Columbia Firebird and Frager's Prokofiev 2nd PC.
Top of my list after the 50s Juilliard Bartok cycle at Pristine.
I notice from your listings (Stravinsky's Firebird, Frager's Prokofiev 2, and the 50's Julliard Bartok) that you plan for your initial downloads to be older recordings - perhaps some of the same performances you already had on vinyl (?). I guarantee you that they will not sound the same as on vinyl. There may be dozens of reasons for these differences, among which the digital vs. analogue incarnation is only one. You should download some newer recordings too (say, from the last decade or so) to get an idea of what your new set-up is capable of.
Was sampling hi res Brahms Trios and Faure Chamber music this morning. Any rise to top of your list?
Do you like the Chandos sound? A lot of their stuff is over at The Classical Shop.
The BIS stuff is on eClassical. There's a lot of good stuff at the Canadian ProStudioMasters site. If you're going for chamber music, here are some possibilities:
(I've got all three, and I can vouch for them.)
Finally, I haven't heard it, but I can't resist recommending it (in view of your comments about the old Ansermet recording):
(available at ProStudioMasters)
is up for streaming at 25/96 on ClassicsOnlineHD. Plan to listen to it later in the day.
Having no trouble with that service now that I have a decent, very fast web connection.
It's just a skosh better!
Old MK VI indeed!
More bits are better bits.
.
Faure, Debussy, Ravel - excellent performances and good capture of the "space":
It's being offered at a special price right now on eClassical - just over $9. I never know how long these special offers will last though.
