New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

If you live long enough.

You find yourself coming back to music you got tired of 25 or 30 years back, even longer. I have come to a new appreciation of Tchaikovsky, in particular, that way. (Late in my high school years I was a fan of Schoenberg. Webern, etc. and looked down my nose at "Romantic" music, esp. Tchaikovsky.) Same for the Beethoven symphonies. The Brahms symphonies, however, which I listened to way too much back when I was a teenager, remain pretty much a closed chapter. Can't stand 'em. I quit listening to "The Planets" about the year 1980, but with the EMI SACD on its way from Japan I am committed to giving it another chance. I had all the Boult versions on Lp that were available, and still recall buying one of them at the downtown Detroit J. L. Hudson department store. I was maybe 12 years old at the time. Funny the things you remember.
