As I've said many times, this is one of the very best discs in my music collection. The Eroica is my favorite symphony and it is given a splendid period instrument interpretation here by Savall. To top it off the disc is glowingly recorded. Thanks for allowing me to share my love of classical music with all of you here.
One of my all-time favorite recordings is being reissued as a SACD by Savall's own label...

Beethoven: Sinfonia Eroica
Beethoven:
Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, Op. 55 'Eroica'
Coriolan Overture, Op. 62
Le Concert des Nations, Jordi Savall

Mahler - Symphony nr 2 in c minor
Budapest Festival Orchestra, Iván Fischer



Carlos says that this recording makes my system shine.
I told him to shut up, because Meta might think there are no upgrades needed anymore!

Using the Dolby surround upmixer on my Marantz 8802A for this superb 2/ch Hi Res file. I'll admit to not liking fooling around with my 2/ch but this somthing I can get use to

Listening to . . . Zoltan Kodály - Dances of Galánta
Bela Bartók - Music for Strings, Percussion & Celeste, Divertimento

Scottish Chamber Orchestra - Sir Charles Mackerras, Conductor


A Linn SACD recording

Have no idea how these performances compare to others, because, frankly, I've not listened to many others . . . but . . . I am at least bowled over by these marvelous renditions. In a word . . . . WOW . . these are excellent and the sound of the recording is superb.

Bouncing around in this nice 39 disc DG box set I got from Presto:
Schubert - The Edition 1: Orchestral, Chamber, Piano


I'm probably through about a dozen of these discs over the last few weeks and so far they've all been rewarding. This morning I'm playing disc 9, the Octet. Lovely playing and good recording.
