In Reply to: RE: Pentatone Recordings posted by Frank I on June 30, 2009 at 15:47:10
I find Pentatone recordings to be *different* than Telarc. Telarcs can have a bit more "wow" factor. One might be more "enjoyable" than the other but not necessarily "better", in my opinion. Your decription of the Pentatones you have as sounding "dark" is interesting. I don't agree or disagree; I will listen further.
Yes, I do, overall, "enjoy" the Telarc sound quality more. But one thing for certain I do not have any Pentatone recordings (new) that I would rate as low a 2.5 stars. I actually rate them at 4.5 to 5 stars. I have several of the Fischer recordings, including the violin concertos (Mozart?) that you reference. I think they are great.
My opinions are formulated with a multi-channel reference.

The Fischer is the Russian Concertos. I still believe I can hear more inner details in the RCA shaed dogs sacd and the Telarcs. I am listening to trhe chopin chen and she plays beautifully. I just expected more in recording quality as I get from Telarc. The Pentatone are good recordings but fsr from the best the format offer IMHO.
As it happens I listened to that disc over the weekend, as well as one of her Mozart concerto discs. I preferred the Mozart disc (which I thought sounded quite good). I also preferred my Living Stereo SACD of Heifetz doing the Glazunov, as it had greater warmth and tonal color.
Please read my comments (below) about the Russian Concertos made almost exactly two years ago in this forum. Interestingly, in the fourth paragraph there is actually a tie to your comments here in this thread.

Thanks for that Robert perhaps I need to listen further. Sometimes I am too quick to post. I will listen more and perhaps draw the same conclusions as you did. Have you heard the Beethoven box set they did of the Quad recordings. Amazon has them for 43.00
