In Reply to: RE: Didn't see this coming, blockbuster Strauss and Scriabin from Seattle? posted by jdaniel@jps.net on October 22, 2020 at 08:14:13
I skipped the opening track (i.e., the opening minute and a half) however! ;-)
Anyway, the engineering didn't seem on par with most of the better recordings being made these days (underbalanced strings for one thing - and strangely veiled too), and the performance was hardly compelling enough IMHO to make up for that. Just my two cents. (I didn't listen to the Scriabin.)
I must also point out that I'd downloaded the Seattle SO's recording of the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony (with Morlot conducting) a few years ago and I've never gotten that recording to sound right on my system. It seemed like the wrong streams were mapped to the wrong channels on that recording - weird!
Follow Ups:
On Alpha, there's a really fine performance of Also Sprach coupled with Till and Don (I'm on a first-name basis), with the NDR Elbphilarmonie conducted by Urbanski. The sound is first-rate, too. Presto has it as a CD as well as for mp3, 16/44.1, and 24/48 downloads.
