One may prefer others’ interpretations, but this recording is stunning in it’s
clarity and presence. AMHD 24/192 I believe originally recorded as an sacd.
Bruckner 9th Symphony Honeck/ Pittsburgh

A quality recording of 2 Shubert Symphonies on this album.
Recorded in November 2021 and released in 2022.
I like the great clarity and instrument separation.

New version for me that I like very much
with Jansons and Berlin.
Classic FM had good things to say as well. EMI recording/now Warner group.
Note
cover pic is different than I found on AMHD.

I have the Andsnes too and it’s probably my favorite, although I also like the Murray Perahia recording of the same concertos. I have a few Grieg and a few Schumann piano concertos, not necessarily coupled together, so I should listen to them all and see which I liked the best.

What are your favorite recordings of each concerto?

47

@PaisleyUnderground I tend to prefer more recent ones, I find, due to the
improved quality of sound, though as I’ve said older Decca and DGs are always
good, imo. I’ve heard and like thePerahia Grieg too, and tried Alice Sara Ott with
Salonen, which is hi res and sounds great, but didn’t care for that as much.
For Schumann a minor, I really like Helene Grimaud with Salonen and Dresden
on her Reflections album.
I also like the Recording quality of the Rachmaninov (all) done by Valentina
Lisitsa and London, but for artists my absolute fav is Yuja Wang
her Rach 2
with Abbado is great.amazing touch!..and she KILLS anything Prokofiev. :joy:Another fav is Grimaud’s Beethoven 5 with Jurowski and Dresden. Till Fellner also has Beeth 4 and 5 with Montreal and that’s good as well. Always seems to be a balance for me of performance and recording quality
dang this good headphone gear I bought!!! lol

Big fan. Also, a fan of her collaboration with Olafur Arnalds.

49

Will look for that, thanks. PS I do like much of Grimaud’s other work
again liking
her touch (heard in detachment or Attachment of notes in a phrase.) I’m not much
of a pianist but I do enjoy that.

With that, you should definitely check out Olafur Arnalds if you haven’t heard of him. His latest album is one of my favorites, including the Piano Reworks.

Hmm
with Hania
will ck this out.

Though not traditional “classical” I suppose, very interesting
reflective, and I like the mix of other artists joining him.
His 2023 cut And We’ll Leave it There has a Celtic feel. Will ck that Ott collab too.
Edit: Sorry, the Ott album is definitely more classical in nature. We’re not snobs,
honest, lol. I also like Snarky Puppy with the Metropole Orkest!! :wink:

Some advance time finally. This Fri 1pm CST. That's 8pm CET Frankfurt Symphony live. Music of Ligeti. Always fun to read some worldwide comments (or make one, lol.)

Apple Music Classical is here - Apple
It’s up. This is Primephonic with Apple taking credit of course.
If you’re looking for a great search/sort function this is it, imo.
Will be great for those newer to classical music, as they have good
info on music periods/styles and also have podcasts.
Says Android “soon” but no mention of Windows.
I’m very interested to hear comments from those here who try it
especially
regarding the Quality vs other services.
I have no Apple products
currently, lol.

Really good recording, imo. Reminds me of my old Telarc sampler that included
this one.
