mikeweil Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 Yes. If only the CD player in the living room of the house where we stay would function properly ..... you close the tray, and it opens again immediately. At last the HiFi upstairs works fine. Quote

A recording filled with 'feeling'. Detailed and the right tempi. Great stuff for sure. Can you explain why you think he is a genius ? I am seriously questioning myself.

Referentzhunter Posted October 1, 2019 Report Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) String Quartet in B flat major, Op4 (1890) Is played at virtuoso level on this premiere recording. It is the ending that hits me the most. Edited October 1, 2019 by Referentzhunter Quote

Referentzhunter Posted October 2, 2019 Report Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) Is it me or is music of Mozart played by Horowitz one of his specialities ? I also like his Scarlatti a lot. Giulini also delivers. Edited October 2, 2019 by Referentzhunter Quote

Superb music marred by extremely loud SSSSSSSSSSTSSTSSSTSSSTSST sound whenever the choir hits the S or T sounds. Sounds like a broom sweeping on concrete. Edited October 2, 2019 by Д.Д. Quote

Isn't that exactly what it says on the cover too? Translations of such titles (particularly if the original and genuine title is a non-English one) are common, aren't they? Of course it might have been more appropriate to put the French one first and more prominenty and the English one in brackets and in fine print. But what would the marketing execs have said if it was an English-speaking target market this was all about? Look at how many recordings and record covers there are of the Franz Schubert "Trout Quintet" (to name just ONE example I as someone not overly concerned with classical music am familiar with). Including one on RCA too, BTW. More appropriate than the bilingual cover above? I doubt it. Edited October 2, 2019 by Big Beat Steve Quote

Das Lied von der Erde versus The Song of the Earth? The Four Seasons versus Le quattro stagioni? Gotterdammerung versus Twilight of the Gods? Jeux versus Games? Le Sacre du Printemps versus The Rite of Spring? Quote
