Stale Kleiberg, he's new to me, many thanks for that Bachtoven. Listening to album of violin concerto and double bass concerto atm. Lovely stuff.

Big +1 lovely stuff Bachtoven, I’m with jandl100 on very much enjoying listening to Kleibergs Violin concerto and the Double Bass and orchestra Concerto… quite compelling, really nice thank you guys. These concertos remind me very much of the works of Samuel Barber… which is saying something.

Much appreciated addition to the listening list.

More Kleiberg loveliness - his Mass for Modern Man.
There's something Vaughan Williams-y about this piece. That's a very strong positive for me!

It's hard to beat the Alpha label for great Baroque recordings. Anyway, yes, the organists are not using some puny Baroque organ, but they don't turn these works into Louis Vierne, either!
24/96 FLAC...Qobuz has it, too.

Gorgeous performance and sound.

I find all Poulenc irresistable.

Wow...

Superbly played and recorded transcriptions for guitar.

More SACD goodness. No. 29 and 38 today.

Another oldie but goldie.
Karl Richter's Brandenburg Concertos with the Munich Bach Orchestra.
The trumpet playing in number 2 is quite astonishing.

Piano trios by Johann Denninger on cpo.
Pleasantly upbeat and entertaining, good sound quality, too.

 

[Bachtoven]

Very passionate playing and great sound on this LP--perhaps my favorite version. Interestingly, it was recorded digitally in 1992 but remastered with an analog Telefunken tape deck.

Remarkably good sonics and a great rendition:

We just got this after reading here somewhere it is the best rendered Four Seasons given its mastering/transfer quality...just had to try it. Picked it up 2 weeks ago off ebay. Great stuff! Still in rotation!

Yep, that's it. I love it! I recently bought a DSD download of Rachael Podger's version, which I thought was fine, but now it sounds positively pedestrian next to Carmignola's!
