As far as I know the Matacic discography never was made available. A few weeks ago a fellow at other (more amorphous) forum – Mr. Makopolus - published his list that I find worth to be preserved and publicized. So he is it: the Matacic discogra...

Every once in a while when I sit and listen to some Internet radio station I have to jump up from the sofa (like a wounded-in-ass-antilope) and record it so I can figure out what recording it was.Just wanted to share this little excerpt. Sorry f...

[quote user="mats"]I agree about the fragility but perhaps less so about "toy like". I am just now hearing for the first time Beethoven's 7th by Nanut and the second movement is very lovely, beautiful, mesmerizing and as the Eroica seemingly well und...

The ninth on that set is my favourite rendition, I like it better than the acclaimed Furtwangler's, but I suspect I should listen to many other ones.......

[This is a repost from Audio Asylum -- Music Lane]
Not to mince words, I have five. And this from a guy who usually disdains such collections. But there are exceptions.
-- Schnabel. (Of course) But he can be overly fierce.

I happen to prefer the 7th piano sonata to the 11th, as music; but in this case there is enough "performance bleed through" to +/- homoginize these two not-entirely-dissimilar sonatas on this record, Angel 35653. One might get the best of this ...

I mean who recorded ALL of them at the SAME level of performing quality? A used set that I fished recently suggest that I might found a noble contestant.
It is box set of 3 CD (DG 435 744 -2) that has all 5 concertos performed by Wilhel...

For many years my favourite performer for the Sibelius has been Christian Ferras. He has a DG recording with Karajan, and also there is a DVD-Video performance with Mehta. In both, his interpretation is very similar - if you want to experience icy ...

I would like to share a one of the assessment methods that I developed over the years and that I use for evaluation of playback system potency. I call it “The Beethoven Test”.
It is know that many compositions in music have direct, indirect or somet...

I understand this is a "popular" piece of music (popular for classical music, anyway), but I never really got into it the way I did Brahms' PC 2 and a couple of others. But this piece came on my clock radio on a Sunday night, and I later learned it w...

The recording of Beethoven IX with Fürtwängler is cosidered by many as the non plus ultra among the interpretations. The recording is bold and very impressive indeed, but the interpretation is of course outdated and is one of a required taste. Fürtwä...

Yep, the Carlos Kleiber’s Beethoven 5 and 7 are pretty much attachable. If you for a first time came across to a “better performances” then you might imagine how different might be experiences if you catch a “better performances” live.
BTW, t...

Philips (stereo) PHS900-120Another example of how sentimental I am, I suppose, but I just love these pieces that showcase Beethoven's utter mastery of earlier forms, which he seemingly tosses around nonchalantly, but with the utmost affection and res...

Hi Romy,I'm not too sure if I fully understand your post. What I do understand is, that particularly Beethoven left A LOT OPEN the conductors' own interpretation(s) and I also understand that this was not TOO unusual a thing to do at this time. H...

It is a tradition in Boston to close the Tanglewood season with Beethoven IX symphony and it is almost a tradition to pay it very badly. Today was not an exception. Michael Tilson Thomas led BSO with Tanglewood Festival Chorus with the celebrated wo...

Last night as I lay down in bed I checked what was on the local PBS FM, using my headphones. Beethoven's 7th Symphony was near the end of the first movement, and it was being played well enough that I continued listening through to the end.I was try...
