Martin,Thanks for your post – haven’t heard the Guarnieri DVD-A, but I’ve seen it praised by lots of posters and reviewers.
Regarding the Naxos DVD-A’s, I think the ones you mentioned are indeed excellent. I also like the Naxos series originating from Russia – not state of the art perhaps, but better than a lot of reviews and posts report. (I wonder if the negative tone of some of these reviews is caused by listening to the SACD incarnations of these recordings? After all, I believe all these Naxos hi-rez recordings started out as PCM, so it’s hardly likely they’re showing SACD to that format’s best advantage.) I also like the Mozart opera discs you mention with (mostly) unmarketed, but excellent singers led by Halasz – a very dynamic conductor in these works.
On the other hand, there are some real turkeys in the Naxos hi-rez catalog, among which I would include the Vaughan Williams Sea Symphony (the Spano/Atlanta Sym on a Telarc SACD is SO much better!), the Vaughan Williams Orchestral works with Judd and the New Zealand Sym, and the recent de Falla disc.
Haven’t ordered my Tacet recordings yet, and have not heard the Harnoncourt St. Matthew Passion. I’ll reply to your other post separately.
