A couple of "late stage" Beethoven Symphony Cycles...

for those times when, facing the near-to-end of physical media purchases, you just CANNOT stop yourself from "adding a couple more shrimp to the barbie" -- in other words, I don't "need" them, I just "want" them. The P. Jarvi cycle I already know well, as I have a couple of the individual disks from years ago, and decided to complete the cycle. The Jarvi is VERY powerful, and incredibly well recorded. The Blomstedt is not a new cycle, but it is very likely his last run at a complete survey. It is a sentimental purchase (that happens to get some great reviews)!:-) At its current asking price of $30 (delivered) the Jarvi set is a great bargain (I seem to recall it being hard to get and much costlier the last time I looked a few years ago). |
I can understand that...I don't mind the "HIP effects" myself..., posted on May 11, 2022 at 11:29:45 | |
As they say in the world of software development...is it a bug, or is it a feature?:-) |
+1 on that Haitink set! It completely surprised me! nt, posted on May 11, 2022 at 13:45:27 | |
