Just found this thread, there ya go, Ben! :-) I'd recommend any of the three discs in the current SFO Symphony Mahler cycle, the 6th Symphony in particular for the Hammers of Fate in the final movement; the Vaughnn-Williams Sea Symphony, Music of Turina and Debussy and Berloz Symphonie Fantastique on Telarc; the Linn Records Poulenc Organ Concerto; any of the Alison Krause discs, particularly New Favorite; the Channel Records Wispelway disc with the Saint Saens Cello Concerto, among other works; the Pentatone Schumann Symphonies 1 and 3, a surprise to me, a lot of those old Philips recordings are better than I thought; the Philips Dvorak 8th and 9th Symphonies with Fischer and the Budapest; the Mozart Symphonies 39 and 41 with the Orchestra of St. Lukes (their own label, I believe); and a bunch more that I don't have time to list.
Your 5 Stupendous SACD vs Redbook
I have just bought a SACD Player/DAC 6, and would appreciate your top choices of 1-5 SACD in Classical or Jazz, others welcome. I'm most interested in great recordings that you have experience with in the redbook format and then purchased the SACD version and was blown away with the amazing results.
Thank you
Thank you
