    This is a very good Shostakovich cycle, my personal favorite of the several that I own. I'm going to bust out my copy of it and listen to Symphony No. 5, to start with, today.

    hmmm, I might need to look into a copy of this one. I like the Karajan/VPO versions of these works more, and I own stereo layer SACDs of them (across two separate releases), but this one looks juicy.

    That is a great Brahms 4. I'm happy that Decca added it to this CD on the Philips Stereo Years box.

    Wonder if this CD cover got the inspiration from the below CD, which is in my Bach collection ... :D

    I suspect this PentaTone recording was sourced from DG, as Kubelik was pretty much a DG artist during much of his recording career.

    @crispi, can you confirm?

    I'm not @crispi, but I can confirm that. That version is also available here:

    it was part of an interesting symphony cycle in which Kubelik used a different orchestra for each symphony.

    they also did another twofer with 4, 5 & 6. 1, 2 & 3 weren't released this way, but they can be found as pricey Japanese imports if one is so inclined.

    IIRC from Kubelik DG big box, his Beethoven Symphonies were recorded with a number of different orchestras, not quite my preference though I have put up with the Furtwangler's Beethoven Symphonies cycle done the same way but that was a different era ...

    Primephonic. The symphony was written in 2016.

    "The wintry, pastoral simplicity of the opening statement of the carol in the initial Allegro moderato evolves into something more imposing, even monumental pretty quickly. The emotional mood and gait of the music may well refract Matthews’ lifelong fascination with both Britten and Mahler and while this is unquestionably English music it’s so expertly made that it conveys universal appeal."

    FYI, this was also available as part of the Isaac Stern: A Life in Music Sony box set series.

    Pentatone DG SA-CD reissues use flowers on the covers. Philips reissues use birds.

    I did a lot of soul-searching and came to the conclusion that out of the 400 or so recordings I have on Qobuz and Tidal playlists, I probably would actually want to own maybe 20-25, so I made a list of them and cancelled both streaming services (I far prefer physical media and FLAC/DSD hi-res files). I'm slowly replacing those titles and this is the first CD I received.

    I need to check out that set some time. It looks interesting. And one can never have enough recordings of the Brandenburgs.
