In most respects I agree with Polly Nomial’s review. I will not repeat the arguments, but in summary for me this opera recording is the most charming incarnation of this masterpiece full of wonderful heartbreaking music, and full of humor and wisdom. Pavarotti in his classic role as a simple-hearted ... more |

This first Kertesz-version of the „New World” with the Vienna Philharmonic is familiar to me for many years. For me it always has been the benchmark for the following recordings. When the young Kertesz made his first recording for Decca, he must have been in a very self-confident, powerful and agile ... more |

Kazune Shimizu is a pianist whom I only know from his Chopin-Interpreations, also on the Triton-Label. I like these recordings very much, so I had a try with this coupling of these often-recorded romantic "warhorses". And I was not disappointed. Shimizu has a romantic, but a clear and not distending ... more |

I highly acclaim this release, because I missed a good DSD-recording of the Strauß-Walzer. Concerning the sound all is said in the above review: One of the best PentaTone-recordings, warm and full, compared for example with the new Schostkowitsch or the Mozart violin concertos, which sound a bit ... more |

Vivid interpretations of these lovely concertos, also with enough sentiment and warmth. Futhermore I have no severe complaints regarding the sound quality in stereo, maybe the soundstage a bit compact, but full bodied instruments with very natural timbre. IMO highly recommended!- My wishes for the ... more |

| Congratulations! This Dvorak is a great performance indeed.
The upcoming Mozart piano concerto KV 414 in the Remastered Classics series is a very charming concerto. I hope that Pentatone will release other concertos from the great Brendel/Marriner Mozart recordings. ... more |

| Instead of a new Dvorak cycle (Pentatone has a full cycle of the late symphonies with Kreizberg), I would have preferred Rachmaninow`s symphonies. A full cycle in DSD still is a desideratum. Why not with the Russian National? - Or Tschaikowsy, Swanlake in DSD ! ... more |

| Hello Luukas, thank you for your hint.
Besides the greatest Freischütz ever and Guilini´s Rigoletto the Verdi operas conducted by Claudio Abbado would also be worth to be re-released in this series (Macbeth, Ballo in maschera, Simone Boccanegra). ... more |
