I think there is a certain consistency to the "house" sound of Telarc which Pentatone lacks. There are some great Pentatone discs, but it does vary considerably depending on the orchestra and the hall. I personally think the Polyhymnia team has done some of their best recording for other SACD labels and not necessarily for their own label. I particularly like some of the RCO Live recordings.

Anyway, you can criticize Telarc too. Some of the recordings sound "glazed" over to me and lack immediacy, despite the dynamic range.

  Agee about the Telarcs some arent as spectactular but all the clssical I own are extraordinary. Some of the jazz not so but still will miss my favorite audiophile label as I discovered it along with Sheffield Labs over 30 years ago.
