... comparing it with this 5th:

New York Philharmonic, Alan Gilbert




The recording is more transparent, clearer, percussion is more incisive.
I think I like this one better.
I listened in surround.

The 6th, also on this disc is quite a special work.
Less optimistic for sure.

To conclude this very good box set: Nielsen's Concertos.




I find this a remarkable disc.
The Violin Concerto is fantastic.
Why have I not explored it before more thoroughly?
The flute work is also very impactful.
The Clarinet Concerto is convincing. I'll compare it to the Fröst version I own.

The piano obviously suffers in comparison to the orchestral originals in terms of color and sustain, but taken on their own terms, these are stunning arrangements. I had not previously heard of her, but she handles these monstrously difficult works with aplomb. Superb sound (24 bit 96k FLAC).

Try this one on for the Stravinsky, at least. Super sound in multichannel.

Great playing and sound. In fact, it inspired me to buy a guitar made by the builder on this recording, Kolya Panhuyzen! (It will be here on Wed...)

I'm not sold on her interpretation of "Pictures" overall (it has some great moments), but the other works are hair-raising! Excellent sound.
