Bartok: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 - Kocsis, Lehel, Marriner        (1 of 1 found this review helpful)

Excellent performance. As a fan of Bartok I regard this disc as a must have. Sonic quality gets only 4 stars, but you will forget about that when you listen to the music.
Rainbow Body - Atlanta Symphony/Spano          (2 of 6 found this review helpful)

Very good sound, but as with most other Telarc recordings not as transparent as the competitors (BIS, Dacapo, some Pentatone's etc.). I guess this could be due to Telarcs choice of audio cabling (Monster and MIT) - none of these are really top-class regarding micro-detailing and transparancy. Maybe ... more
East meets West - Les Percussions de Strasbourg        (2 of 3 found this review helpful)

My first thought when buying this was: Well, one more audiophile demonstration disc that you only listen to when your friends come around for a demo-session. But no... The music is really interesting and combined with an absolutely breathtaking recording quality this is exceptional entertainment.
Miles Davis: Someday My Prince Will Come      (1 of 2 found this review helpful)

So far the best sounding Miles Davis JSACD that I have listened to. Hear that trumpet... Wow! When speaking of music, I prefer Kind of Blue very slightly over this disc, but both are essentials to jazz-lovers. Buy this instead of the standard Columbia version.

Highly recommended live recording. The original tape does not sound as good as "Someday my prince will come" (also on SME), but it is still worth paying the extra bucks for getting the JSACD instead of the standard version.
