Music Lane

I liked it, even the smaller scenes are so well-characterized, such as "Masks;" great sense of intrigue....

Maybe, just maybe, Juliet's Funeral could have used a bit more forward momentum, (though Audiophiles will be too busy delighting in the low brass of Juliet's Funeral to notice!), and the end of the scene doesn't have quite the cold horror it needs.

Juliet's Death is slightly slow as well, though I don't blame Petrenko for wanting to luxuriate in Prokofiev's soaring lyrical melodies.

An all around success as long as the listener is OK with Petrenko's avoidance of rubato in the Balcony Scene, the one place I would have preferred a more flexible approach, even if unrealistic for the ballet stage.

Especially as this is one of my favorite works.

Even though it's available for streaming at 16/44.1 via TIDAL, I'll be looking for a Hi-Rez PCM download once it's officially released.
- You can always download the DSD snd convert it to PCM - Russell 13:04:15 09/25/16 (2)
  and save the DSD for when you get a DSD-capable DAC. I don't recall seeing the LAWO label on other music-download websites, so why not take advantage of Native DSD's LAWO sale?

    Naxos Direct does sell the LAWO Classics label. The last issue with Petrenko and OSLO is available and is an SACD, so one can dream...
    
    But dreams are quickly dashed as the R & J is on the Naxos Direct site as a pre-order shipping 10-28-16 and only as a CD.
    
    But at $24.99.
    
    The above LAMO offering is NOT on Naxos' streaming site, ClassicsOnlineHD so no Hi-Rez for Ivan, even streaming.. :-(
    - Scriabin SYMPHONY NOS. 3 & 4 (Open in New Window)
  - As the CD is not even available for sale in Europe as yet... - Ivan303 13:58:04 09/25/16 (0)
    Until later this month?
    
    Perhaps it will show up on the normal channels later?
    
    Doubt I'll ever go with a DSD capable DAC as I'm locked into old discontinued chip (PCM-1704UK) multi bit DAC technology.
    
    Would be interesting to know for certain if this was recorded in DSD, converted to PCM for editing or not, and back to DSD or what.
    
    It it were recorded in DSD why not release it as an SACD?
