Mahler: Symphony No. 5 - Jansons        (14 of 14 found this review helpful)
  September 9, 2009

Early on I made a New Years resolution: No new Mahler for 2009. Well I have broken that resolution (and most others) several times over. There are a lot of Mahler 5th’s out there. But I got to tell you I found this Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Mahler 5th performance with Mariss Jansons conducting ... more

The lack of a wide tent of music selection has deeply wounded SACD market success. I'm sure we can all make our ... more
Berlioz: Requiem - Sir Colin Davis        (8 of 10 found this review helpful)
  December 22, 2008

Let me show my cards early. I just read what I have just written about the Davis/Berlioz Requiem and it may seem that I've fawned over this recording to a syrupy excess. Well, I'm guilty as charged. I am more excited about the Davis/Berlioz “Requiem” than I have been about any SACD in recent memory ... more
