Mozart concertos.
Another radio epiphany: the slow mov't of the 3rd in GM. Simple outlining of a triad again...I guess that's why Mozart's considered a genius.
The Lyrita Arnold Dances begins with Beckus and Dandypratt, and the opening reminded my why I can happily live without multi-channel. Immense, 3D soundstage. The Dances are worth
It's 1st on the TAS Lp superlist, which led some to believe it was the creme de la creme, when actually the list is/was alphabetical.
In any case, classic Wilkinson sound; charming, ingratiating compositions. "Honest Music", as Jim Sveda used to say. I haven't heard the CD, but the hi-res download, ($12.85 on sale at Presto) is a delight.
The Mozart VC's 3-5 made a splash for being the first DXD recording. It's on sale at Native DSD and all is very, very nice. I wouldn't say that it's the best recording I've ever heard, but it's above average and the playing is charming enough.
Great music for one's first cup of coffee.
Follow Ups:
I actually have that SACD of the Mozart Violin Concertos with Thorsen, but it had a track which got stuck in my old player. I should play it with my new player and see if it's OK now. OTOH, I'm tempted by the download at Native DSD because you can get it at native DXD resolution that way (rather than converted to DSD for the SACD). Also, I think the J-Fi Pentatone SACD's of the Mozart Concertos still hold a very high place too - I don't think I'd be able to choose between J-Fi and Thorsen. (I'll bet J-Fi is not happy she left Pentatone to go to Decca, where she seems to have crashed and burned!)
