Home Classical Court

From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

I Usually Don't Engage You on This Topic...

But maybe I'm getting looney in my old age.

Your opinion of the Blomstedt/LGO seems to be in the minority of the critiques I've seen. One critic says:

"seasoned listeners have all formed their own opinions on what these pieces should sound like (whether their opinions are formed by studying the scores or studying all the recordings is open to debate), and they are difficult to impress when new recordings come out." Don't know anything about that particular critic, but the statement rings true to me.

I guess you are just more "seasoned" than I am.

All that said, the greatest thing is that I can sit in my chair and instantly listen to all of it and can compare them side by side. HVK 60's, HVK 70's, Blomstedt Dresden/LGO, Abbado BPO, Harnoncourt COE, Gardiner (GASP!) ORR...Maybe we can at least agree on that?

Cheers and Happy New Year from the other side of the Bay, errr hills now that I think about it!
