Beethoven 6/Abbado Berlin

 

Can't seem to find any sound bites for it.

 

thanks for boosting my thread !

 

LP's? What are those?
I gave up records in 1990 or so.
CD's are enough for me to keep track of!

 

You're welcome.

 

tell me about it.i've got tons of both.with my renewed focus on records i'm having to neglect my CDs,but maybe i enjoy them even more when i get around to playing them.

 

Now playing this new purchase.

 

LPs? CDs? Johnnie-come-latelies.

Real[/R] records look like this :

 

I like the Takacs, too (in Schubert, Beethoven, and Brahms).

 

I gotta say their approach doesn't work for me with Haydn. I like their Bartok, though.

This set is sounding much better to me:



Really nice stuff.

 

Haydn's like, if I have absolutely everything else I need in the world (new shoes, new flatware, new glasses), then, maybe I'll spend some dinero on Haydn. But right now, I need new shoes, new flatware, and new glasses, so Haydn, mmm, naaaah. But thanks for the recommendation.

 

Is this twofer any good?

 

Now playing CD21 from the following set for a first listen ...

 

Jumping straight to CD4 from the following set, which arrived a few months ago for a first listen ...



The Pomp and Circumstance Marches are also available on the following LP, which was the first classical recording I bought while still in high school.

Now playing CD2 from the following set for a first listen. The first track "Swedish Rhapsody No. 1" so far is quite nice. Symphony No. 2 makes up the rest of the CD.

 

Now playing the following CD, a recent arrival for a first listen ...



Jim, I bet you would like this CD ...

 

Jim, According to wikepedia, this looks like the last recording performed by the original Anonymous 4. This recording was made in 1998 ...

 

Now playing CD3 from the following set for a first listen ...

 

I plan to get it at some point.

Right now here in NY along the PA boarder (Near Binghamton NY) a stop to this dang rain would be nice. We are getting slaughtered!
Major flooding....everything is closed....keeping ahead of the water coming into my basement. I live on a hill no less!
The storm that just keeps giving.....Nuffs nuff already!!

 

here's a nice one i picked up a few weeks ago.this lady can really sing.
recorded in 1980,when she was 49,still sounding pretty fresh.

 

Now playing:

• Beethoven: Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 5 'Emperor', Op. 73* + Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 61^ - Jos van Immerseel* (fortepiano); Vera Beths^ (violin); Bruno Weil / Tafelmusik (on period instruments) [Sony Classical 1998, OOP (except Japan), Producer: Wolf Erichson, Recording engineer, editing, and mastering: Stephen Schellmann (Tritonus); Recording location: Kursaal, Bad Tölz, Germany, September 8-10, 1997, fortepiano is authentic Johann Nepomuk Tröndlin, Leipzig, early 19th century (Viennese action), restored in 1996, violin is Stradivarius Cremona, 1727 -- very capable but not very flexible playing, too austere in approach to HIPP, slow movements lacking in mystery and transcendence, ridiculous cadenzas by Anner Bylsma in the violin concerto -- for Immerseel and HIPP fans only]

 

Giving this HDAD a first listen:

 

I am off this week and so far it has rained everyday since Sunday. The sun finally made its first appearance around noon time for the first time in days.

Good luck and I hope your basement stays dry. The $8K I spent six or seven years ago on the dry basement treatment has paid off. When you get rain like this, as long as you have power, the sump pump will do its work.

 

Yeah it's REALLY bad all around my area here!!
We got slammed good....way worse than 2006!!
