In Reply to: Two Substantial New Releases: Prokofiev Piano Concertos and Strauss' Ein Held posted by jdaniel@jps.net on June 1, 2017 at 08:35:12:
And yet, his Mahler Resurrection and Bruckner Romantic albums did appear on a couple of "best of the year" lists in 2016. I suppose you could say that everybody's a critic these days, so every recording ever issued is bound to appear on somebody's list somewhere! ;-)
(And I'll say again that the vast majority of his Mariinsky Label and LSO Live recordings I've heard sound marvelous to me!)
Anyway, I haven't heard any of those Gergiev/Munich recordings yet - I can't seem to find them in anything beyond 2-channel 24/44.1. Regarding Trpceski, I have his old (debut?) recording of knuckle busters from 2003 (Wow! - Has he been around that long?) - fantastic performances of the Pletnev transcriptions of pieces from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker in particular!
