Marvin Gaye: What's Going On      (0 of 7 found this review helpful)
  December 24, 2011

I don't know any Japanese, but when I put http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UIGY-9030 in Google Translate (http://translate.google.com), I got the following translation: used body material with excellent flow SHM / transparent, single-layer characteristics of the original live DSD (2ch) ... more

Second, and more importantly, I don't think that issuing a disc with ... more
Dohnanyi: Variations on a Nursery Song etc. - Dohnanyi, Starker        (4 of 4 found this review helpful)
  April 9, 2009

I agree with canonical's review. Unlike Praga's modern issues, the sound here is pretty dated, in mediocre-to-poor transfers. The Variations on a Nursery Song (22'59") and the Konzertstuck for Cello (22'20") were recorded in 1956 and are in stereo. The recording date of the Piano Concerto No. 2 ... more
