Pentatone Brahms & Tchaikovsky Sale Through May 7

[thrand1]

Hi all,

 

I just received an email from Pentatone about a sale this weekend on the works of Brahms and Tchaikovsky, who share the same May 7th birthday. You can use the promo code DUOLEGEND17 through the end of Sunday, May 7th at the Pentatone online store for 20% off.

 

I bought the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto (Julia Fischer) in high-res from Pentatone, and it was a great experience- download package included multichannel and surround DSD ISOs which burned to DVD and played no problem on my Oppo BDP-83 disc player, and there was even a copy of low-res MP3s included along with liner and album art. Overall, a pleasant purchase for me.

 

@Musicophile, any particular Pentatone pieces from Brahms or otherwise you could recommend? Anyone else?

 

Enjoy!

The problem about Pentatone is not the soloists (Julia Fischer is excellent) but the orchestra. Therefore there

are few of their recordings I would quote as reference.  

 

The Tchaikovsky is really good but for Brahms the only one I'd recommend

is the double concerto with Müller Schott.
