It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Rach 2

My wife and I are starting to do some extensive comparative listening to various Rach Sym 2 recordings, and, based on what we've heard so far, we would agree with you about the virtues of the Fischer/BFO recording on Channel Classics. So many performances of this work have such sludgy textures that, sometimes, you can't even hear the main line amidst all the textural muck (with secondary lines obscuring things). (And then Rachmaninoff gets blamed for being a bad orchestrator!) We thought Fischer did a particularly fine job of maintaining an exciting clarity and direction in the performance in comparison to the other performances we've heard so far - and certainly, Jared's usual sterling engineering helps Fischer's case.
