A most fine observation; show-off virtuosity is alien to him. You also may enjoy his Sibelius VC with Ormandy or Rozhdestvensky.

I'm sure it would, but it won't play directly from an external drive--only from a computer, and since it and my computer are in different rooms and I don't want to invest in new equipment for files that I only occasionally play, the Oppo will have to do! It sounds pretty darn good...way better than the MP3s, which weren't all that bad.

AND, I'm playing it again and loving it even more. Tilson Thomas did a superb job on his Mahler.

Well I have finally found one - a really horrid recording by BIS - everything that is ugly about digital. Recorded in 1986. That will learn me to be more careful. I want my $5.28 back please.

Thanks for the reco, Julian. Mahler's second is fast becoming my favorite piece of music (what took me so long?) and I've collected a few version in the past few months. I'll add the MTT to the stack based on what you say. |

Prokofiev: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 - 5 (Complete)
I've seen this recommended, so I checked it of my public library...
Prokofiev: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 - 5 (Complete) Jean-Efflam Bavouzet (piano) BBC Philharmonic, Gianandrea Noseda Playing the 1st concerto on disc 1 now, but what I hear sounds good to me. At least this concerto has nice energy and good melodies. The recorded sound has impact and is sharp (in a good way). Gramophone Awards 2014, Winner - Concerto |

Get Your Rococo On
Whispering in J's ear: "careful ... that font might catch the gods eyes - you don't want any problems watering your lawn next summer..." The Birth of Venus by François Boucher. Personally I'd have gone with the Botticelli. |
