I listened a bit to the clips on the site and bought it. It's good "if you like that kind of thing", which I do. Always like well conceived and executed Indian - Western synthesis.

Hugo9000 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Sergei Rachmaninov Symphony No. 2 Lan Shui/Singapore Symphony Orchestra Gorgeous performance (Shui is my favorite conductor of the Rachmaninov symphonies), and wonderfully clear and dynamic recorded sound as usual with BIS. For connoisseurs of this symphony, this recording is of the uncut score, and includes the first movement exposition repeat. (Many recordings are listed as "complete" or "uncut" but do not have the repeat noted in the score. I have over 40 recordings of this symphony haha.) 请教别人一次是5分钟的傻子,从不请教别人是一辈子的傻子 Link to comment

Great impression in mid 70s, not anymore. This earlier recording with Gewandhaus is slightly more energetic, but both sound quality and interpretation slightly outdated, imho. Link to comment

But it's the one I keep returning to (I own 6 other versions). For some odd reason, I like it. Now listening to: Musicophile and Melvin 2 Link to comment

I heard many versions of 5th and I am happy to find special flavor and certain attraction in each of them. The version of 5th which I selected as outstanding for many years was from Barbirolli, but I am not sure anymore. So many great and very different approaches to Mahler are accessible now.

Guidof Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 McCoy Tyner, Lex Humphries, Steve Davis: Nights of Ballads & Blues. Disappointing sound (hole-in-the-middle soundstage, bass and drums too loud -- at least in my system). A 24/96 HDTapeTransfers download. Musicophile 1 For my system details, please see my profile. Thank you. Link to comment

I did nor read your post that way, it's refreshing to hear/read other aficionado's thoughts about their preferences ?. The Barbirolli was also a first choice for me for a long time. On top of my Mahler 5 list is Chailly/RCO. Happy listening, WAM AnotherSpin 1 Link to comment
