That Bernstein is my go-to. It is not “dull” like the Schumann, EJ!! :grinning:

Me too - It’s a very good complete set with better sound than some of those recorded decades ago

Needed to develop my Mstislav Rostropovich and Joseph Haydn collection:

All on CD :cd:

Such a wonderful cello player and these are all great recordings and masters.

A slight repeat of my post in the new vinyl thread, but just as a heads up to the classical vinyl die-hards that Hyperion are entering the fray with 5 new Vinyl issues at £18 each for Sept 20th release. I’ve just preordered these 2 to test the waters.
The Presto Music site has details if you care.

Hey, I generally love Bernstein’s work, his Beethoven / Vienna, Wagner’s Tristan and other recordings are near top of my list. It’s just that I don’t get along with his Schumann! :slight_smile:


A reassessment of Brautigam’s Schubert impromptus, now played on my new Melco N50 (connected to Accuphase preamp over high quality USB). The Melco is one of the best digital sources I’ve yet heard and it adds that last bit of realism to this record to transform it from OK to truly excellent.

Cheers
EJ
