| Mozart Sym 41:reviews/opinions If you like Klemperer, you might also consider Sir Thomas Beecham/LPO. This has more of a dramatic hue (as befitted the times perhaps), but with a lot of sensitivity (cf: 2nd, last movement. Cheers | |
| Mendelssohn String Quartets- best performance? Try a recent recoding ('90s) of the Cherubini quartet on EMI (3cd). As to being the absolute best... I can't say! | |
| Brahm's g- minor piano quartet There's a historical version with Serkin & Busch on EMI (reference). You might like it. | |
| Late Beethoven Piano Sonatas Selectively taken, there are a few: Serkin, Gilels, Solomon (as Sugar above), Gulda... Another set of performers comprises Brendel, Gould & Richter.But as you like the Schnabel (I do too), I'm not sure what to recommend for a casual listen... ... | |
| Excellent recording of Mozart Jupiter No.41 ? Hi 6chac -- I've been battling with the sound of violins in my system... too glassy (or is it my imagination?) Cheers! | |
| Any SS class A experience to share? From personal experience of pairings with the Mini Utopia:* Spectral could be an option* YBA Passion (stereo)* Symphonic Line Kraft 250A (the best bass "slam")* Plinius (the newer model -- SA100?)HOWEVER, 1) do try auditioning; the Minis are nice ... | |
| Excellent recording of Mozart Jupiter No.41 ? Buxter -- agreed, wholeheartedly. (the CSO LP sounds better than the Vienna one though -- but who cares!) | |
| Audiophile quality Mozart??? Kleiber on Decca/London would be my first choice too. The sound is not bad -- indeed, the voices on cd sound quite good even though the stageing is not top-notch vs the vinyl (in my system). Solti I find to be very strict to the rules and, though ... | |
| Ear 509 mk2 opinion I haven't heard the 509 with Zingali, but have heard a pair of old 519 driving one of the bigger (model?) Zingalis. I liked the upper end extension & bass control. The "open-ness" & sense of space usually found in Zingali was there, too. C... | |
| Anybody any comments on Tannoy Churchill or D12? I have heard the TD12 with a few combinations of electronics -- but not with Naim. I was suitably impressed and surprised at the life-like sound presentation they project.Also listened to Churchills many many years ago, so memory doesn't serve the... | |
| Bruckner 9th... Finally, for another view of the 9th & 4th, try Celibidache (on EMI I think). | |
| Electrocompaniet owners Cellorover, your commendable attitude (to donate some of your time) may be the biggest break for EC; manufacturer & users alike. Good for you (if I may)! | |
| Who R U? Welcome Bigkidz. You obviously succeeded in the most difficult endeavour: recognising beauty & happiness in everyday living. Cheers to you & family! | |
| What's your profession? Age? Hi Maril555, there are (were) a few m.d. here if you look at the "who R U" thread. Speaking of psychiatrists, Detlof is one. Cheers! | |
| Retail Buying - Reality Check Just to touch upon certain issues raised by Judith & others -- a bit late in the day (as usual). I'll give a small European perspective (basically Paris, & London, with some experience of Brussels & Athens). Until recently, we had impo... |
