Classical Music Only | What You're Listening to Now, Or Very Recently | Any Mediums :

Indeed. I have all of her Vivaldi and Bach recordings...pure magic. Oh my, this gem arrived today. Many critics have said it could well be the definitive Beethoven set once they complete it, and I can't disagree! The playing is fantastic (the opening of Op.95 is almost startling in its vehemence) and the sound has stunning clarity and presence.

Contains the 3rd Piano Sonata and Handel Variations by Brahms, and Sofia Gubaidulina's Chaconne for solo piano.

Can anyone here PM me a best sounding classical recording that I can get on vinyl? I don't have a single classical LP. I would like one that is sonically one of the best (or the best if there is such a thing). I get classical music fans come over and I don't have any vinyl for them to listen to. Thanks.

It's nice having a version of Bruckner's 9th with the completed 4th movement, but recording in a cathedral with about 4 seconds of reverb sort of kills the clarity!

This is a superbly played and recorded SACD of concertos and symphonies by CPE Bach. I've heard warmer period instrument string tone, but it's still a fine sounding disc.

Wow...this is easily one of the best harpsichord (and virginal--he uses both) recordings I have ever heard. Mr. Demeyere's instruments are there in the listening room, but it doesn't sound dry and claustrophobic. It would make a fantastic disc for evaluating the mids and highs in potential new speakers. Oh yes, the music and playing are fantastic as well!

I'll definitely have to get this one. Thanks for sharing. I love the harpsichord.

I forgot to mention that it's an SACD, but I see that you have two Oppo players, so you are good to go! (It doesn't make much use of the rear channels.)
