San Diego record haul
From the brief trip to Stereo Unlimited, all new vinyl:
1. Elgar: Enigma Variations and Brahmms: Haydn Variations Monteux/LSO Classic Records reissue of RCA LSC-2418 Great playing and conducting, but not one of Classic's best releases. I don't have the RCA for comparison. OK sonics, just not "great". But the music is obviously the most important consideration, and it is wonderfully done. 2. Chicago Pro Musica, music of Walton, others Reference Recordings RR-16 I had this record when it was new and sold it in the purge of '97. It's a great, great record musically and sonically. 45 rpm. Among the very best RRs, I believe. I have the CD, also excellent. GREAT performance of Walton: Facade. 3-5. Three records by Opus 3: Testrecord 4 Showcase 30th Anniversary Celebration I LOVE the records that this Swedish company puts out. I have the older classic ones, such as "Testrecords": Depth of Image, Timbre, etc. These newer ones are just as great. Taken as a body of work, I think that Opus 3 are the best sounding records that I have. The current crop is quite eclectic musically, being samples (whole works) of their releases. So the music includes folk, world, small classical ensembles, old jazz. Just amazing sound, IMO. Perfect surfaces. The best recorded drum kit sound I've yet heard, bar none. WELL worth picking up to see how good your gear can sound, and the music is quite worthwhile as well. As an aside, I've updated my collection database, and it is available for download at http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=b...9fa335ca0305e8 fc6d956e82 It's only my main collections (classical and Broadway), as the other stuff (folk, rock, solo guitar) aren't large enough to need a list. I make it available only as a point of interest for those might be interested in how one might catalogue their collection, etc. For the truly musically nerdy, my conducting score catalogue is also available at http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=b...9fa335cab10a90 d638cf732f |
