RE: Haitink(LSO) & Vanska(BIS)

We agree for sure ala Haitink's set. As for Vanska/BIS, I listen to hi-rez stereo tracks and find the sonics quite good for that set. Vanska adopts a chamber music-sized approach to the syms which I think is his nod to HIPP. He does use vibrato in the strings but judiciously. It just sounds right to me. I know from discussions with Robert at BIS that they don't do any dynamic range compression which places quite a challenge on home systems. There have been plenty of complaints on this forum about the wide dynamic range from BIS recordings. If you have a quiet room and a system that can handle the fff BIS recordings can be quite thrilling.
