I really enjoyed your broadcast last night. I enjoy your recording recommendations. I will hunt some of them down and stream them if I can find them to see if I like them. I was wondering if you had ever heard of this piece, a symphony written by Schoenberg based on Brahms piano quartet no.1. I added this one to my KZread playlist. I never thought Schoenberg would have written anything I liked but this is something I can't stop listening to. I hope you listen to it too and tell me if you like it or not. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gK2r3LSoe6jSYZM.html This piece was recommended by Dave Hurwitz of The Ultimate Classical Music Guide by Dave Hurwitz I couldn't find his pick for best recording of this to add to a playlist so I hunted on the internet and found it. I ordered the disc new from ebay for $20 but this one is something I've listened to so many times in the last few days. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z2mIytulqc-em7w.html Here's the recording as a single, his pick for the most outstanding one. Here's just the fourth movement. kzread.info/dash/bejne/rGeHzLJrfJCbl7A.html So far for the music I like, Hurwitz best pick has never disappointed me.

Thanks Team, great show, Jim gets the MVP AWARD for 330 am streaming , those Victrola are great buys I have a few including some Scott showed in stereo . Janine is great on anything it’s sad she has not been able to record , but life happens . I should mention the Juilliard is a seminal recording of all Bartok string quartets , and their specialty, though I have the Emerson also. Totally agree about the sound improved after sonic cleaning I suggest u rebalance the frequency spectrum when u remove the high frequency noise masking.

Here are some odd things: the spindle-hole on my Abbado Boston LP was larger than normal. If you were not careful, you'd get wow because your record was spinning off-center. My LP of Kubelik's Bartok Cto for Orchestra had a clearly visible smudge (like a grease mark) on one side, and it also had a scratch. It made me wonder if the LP had been a return. The way the sleeve is resealable, you can't tell of a record has been previously opened or handled. I will also say that I find the matte jackets and the quality of the jackets themselves underwhelming. I thought we'd see a Tone Poet-type treatment with thick, quality stock- and making a jacket glossy heightens the contrast and color. Instead the artwork is muted and sleeve stock is just as vulnerable to LP punch-through at the edges. I returned one Original Source LP for that issue alone.

Before we can consider the quality of mastering, we have to first determine whether the music itself resonates with us. Unless of course, it is possession itself that dominates. In which case, the music itself is not the primary consideration. For those for whom the music is the primary consideration, streaming provides an inexpensive means of determining whether we like the music enough to look for a superb recording.

Hello, I'm new here Thanks for your video. I must say I was surprised (shocked?) when you mentioned Animals. The recording is great, I love the SACD but the vinyl.... I had to exchange it 4 times, there was so much distortion (especially side 2), the last one I got was not great but a tiny bit better so since anyway it was to complete the collection I figure I settle with that one. I'm curious, is it because yours is a Canadian pressing? Or because mine was the box set? Makes me wonder Mine was pressed in Europe I think Especially since my system is far from yours in terms of quality of reproduction so if it sounds bad on mine it should sound horrible on yours..

Digital recordings can be good on vinyl - try the early Decca digital recordings by Dorati and Dutoit as well as Chandos Ulster orchestra recordings. However the LP sides are often too long for the best recording quality. In the early 1980s there was a naive view that digital was good and better than analogue and lots of poor quality digital recordings were made as well as poor quality digital transfers of analogue recordings. The limitations of CDs did not help the image of digital.
