    This morning I'm reminded of how lovely the Adagio is in Mozart's Violin Sonata No. 27 (KV 379). Have several versions of this but I always come back to Podger and Cooper. The tempo is just perfect.

    One of my most favorite pieces of music ever in an appropriately full blooded, high contrast, hyper-Romantic performance--

    Johannes Brahms: String Quintet No. 1 in F major, Op. 88

    Bravo! I ended up buying the complete box set (which is sadly not SACD) but I'd love to have the individual titles. A terrific collection.

    Really? I bought all the individual SACD's in the series. Why wouldn't all the SACD's be released in a single box? :confused:

    A fine haul indeed and Happy Birthday from me too ...

    I have the Brendel which is a really lovely lp, enjoy ...
    The Bartok re-issue looks interesting - 100% analogue is always a good start.

    Thank you.

    I think these recent Philips and DG pressings derive from digital copies of the analog master tapes, which accounts for the slightly thin sound, but this one certainly sounds quite good, and Brendel’s playing is superb.

    How can there be any recent Philips pressings, as Philips quit the music business over a decade ago? :confused:

    Well, to be precise, it's probably Universal Music or whatever the conglomerate calls itself these days.

    But Universal is supposed to have re-branded the recording as a Decca recording as I have noticed many previous Philips recordings are now labeled as Decca recordings after the latest rounds of remastering efforts ...

    Universal (as it's still called, or more officially, UMG) discontinued the Philips label after they had acquired it. They can use its name whenever they see fit, which apparently is the case with LP reissues. On CD, Philips recordings are reissued on Decca, which is also owned by Universal.

    Looks very cool, but personally I think it's a chiropractor's dream......(that's who you would need lots of after sitting in that chair for prolonged periods of time).
