I am not a huge classical fan but I do appreciate the gene at certain times. More of the commonly known stuff & do search looking for something I like the sound of. There was an app on a Sony UHD player I purchased so I signed up for the free trial. Had an Email tonight from them & thought it would be interesting to hear these CD's. Then thought perhaps others would also, hope this is the right spot to post this. I'll also go back through the thread & check some of the posts out.

 

" The radio recordings between 1939 and 1945 with the Berliner Philharmoniker and Wilhelm Furtwängler are among classical music’s most compelling sound documents. Created at the peak of the collaboration between orchestra and conductor, Furtwängler’s artist personality is conveyed more vividly than anywhere else. What can be heard is music in which inspiration and the expressive will know no bounds and in which, not least, the existential experience of the Second World War reverberates. For the first time, the Berliner Philharmoniker are releasing a complete edition of these recordings on 22 CD/SACD. "

Love this.  Paul Hillier has made a number of great Part recordings.

I agree I finished listening a little while ago and I thought it was worth adding to my collection. The second last price really reminded me of Britten’s sea interludes from his opera Peter Grimes.

I have long been a fan of Henryk Górecki: Symphony No. 3 (Symphony Of Sorrowful Songs).  I hadn't heard about this new recording but am going to enjoy the journey tonight.  See how measure measures up to Dawn.  thanks again

Very expensive now but I pre ordered mine back then so it was good price. I pre order all new release on the suites whenever there is a reissue because they all become expensive after the copies are sold out.


Yes indeed. Recently played my copy. It's not cheap to buy now though.
