Not sure if I have any recordings by Schneiderhan though I have a few by Baumgartner but they are all LP's ...
On the turntable: Disc 18 of 38 from last Friday. A 1962 release. Brahms - Van Cliburn / Fritz Reiner And Chicago Symphony Orchestra – Brahms Concerto No. 2 RCA Victor Red Seal – LM-2581
Now playing CD5 - Alexander's Feast from the following box for a first listen ... I also have the following LP version I bought years ago
2-LP set from 1981. Unfortunately the booklet which I'm sure must have been included was not with my copy.
Now playing CD6 - Conclusion of Alexander's Feast and Ode for St. Cecilia's Day from the following box for a first listen ... I also have the following LP version I bought years ago
Anyone have a view (generally or with respect to one or more specific recordings) about multi-channel SACDs of recordings from the quad era? At some point I will have a 5.1 set-up, and I'm thinking about buying what I believe amounts to 4.0 recordings.
On the turntable: Disc 19 of 38 from Friday's haul. I already own a copy, but this one is in better shape than my existing copy and its a different pressing. Ravel / Debussy / The Budapest String Quartet – Quartet In F Major / Quartet In G Minor, Opus 10 Columbia Masterworks – MS 6015
I think just about all SACD's except those legacy ones released by RCA in the early 2000's are 5.1 surround. Most of mine are the 5.1 variety though I do not have a HT setup ... Too many speaker cables and interconnects ...
Now playing: Kurt Weill - Die Dreigroschenoper (The Threepenny Opera) - Lotte Lenya, Sender Freies Berlin Tanzorchester, Wilhelm Brückner-Rüggeberg - recorded 1958. Of course, Lotte Lenya is the only real Jenny!
