RE: Streams at 24/96 on QOBUZ...

Posted by Todd Krieger on October 30, 2020 at 10:26:28:
As a lot of you know, I've been overly critical of FWM personally..... His Schubert Nine is a performance that is better taken in as a whole, as opposed to the "strengths and weaknesses" of the work as it progresses...... This would be a great example for music appreciation classes, FWM let the work go on its own momentum..... Too many other performances fail, simply because the conductor put too much of a personal stamp on this work, and ends of being a "nice performance, but"..... This is easily the best performance FWM has released with the Cleveland Orchestra, on commercial recording.
