Re: Playing right now | CD (2-Disc Set) ::

Yesterday evening I listened to Johannes Brahms' Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98 ~ Clarlos Kleiber with the Vienna Philharmonic (1981) on a Deutsche Grammophon on an "Original Image Bit Processing" CD.

IMHO, a nice performance but brutally awful sound. I'm not knocking the Red Book CD format but, I think, DG for some terrible sounding recordings. From my small collection, it seems to me that their "Original Image Bit Processing" efforts were no great success. Your opinions?

Going to be cueing up the new (to RtR tape at least) MA Recordings.
Thanks to Larry T for encouraging Todd G (and Ki Choi) to release this.
Also, special shout out to Allen H and Mark J for helping the tapes along the journey to me

Haydn - 12 London Symphonies, Jochum LPO - Deutsche Grammophon Six LP set 2720 091 :

Last night I listened to ...

Karlheinz Stockhausen: Gruppen ~ Claudio Abbado / Berlin Philharmonic

... Gruppen is possibly my favorite composition by the composer. I listen to Stockhausen infrequently but I do enjoy his work and that of other Contemporary-style classical composers when I'm in the mood. Elliott Carter is a big favorite of mine among Contemporaries.

Fantastic playing and composition. Very nice and quiet vinyl for an almost 60 year old piece of plastic.

Kogan, nice!!!

I agree, he's quite spectacular in his playing! A beautiful piece of music for sure.
