Zemlinsky: Lyric Symphony - Eschenbach        (5 of 5 found this review helpful)
  April 27, 2010

This is a wonderful performance with Goerne at the pinnacle of his career. His rendering of the final movement is extremely touching. It reminds one of other farewells to life like Mahler’s Abschied or Strauss’ Im Abendrot. It is dying in complete serenity and acceptance. Eschenbach knows how to ... more
Schoenberg, Berg, Webern - Karajan        (16 of 25 found this review helpful)

I sincerely like these recordings. They present Karajan and the BPO in splendid form. When I saw part of these recordings available on one sacd, I did not hesitate, even if the price was ridiculously high.

You have got a point here, and as I said I was maybe a bit too emotional in my response to the Esoteric because of the embarrassing quality of the remastering, and hence my profound disillusion carried me away. I also confess that my remark on “audiophiles” was not very polite, but it was somewhat provoked by the way Esoteric promotes their ... more

Yes. I had a deadline for two remasterings, so I could not visit this forum. Today I saw there was a lot of interesting stuff to read in this thread! First of all, I am sorry if it turns out that these masters were not derived from CD. The information on the website and in the booklet was pointing in that direction. Furthermore, the poor quality ... more
