I disagree with Gemini on some of their recommendations. They cull reviews from a variety of sources, some of which are antiquated. For example, Ashkenazy and Perahia recordings were sonically excellent for their time, but have since been super-ceded. Also, on my set Uchida’s first set of the concertos is exemplary in SQ.
Interpretation
In classical music there can be a plethora of performances of the same popular work, each one differing in interpretation and sound quality. The question is which performance are you going to buy or stream? What are the criteria that will influence you? How important is sound quality? Or Is interpretation your primary concern? Of course the ideal is get a combination of both,
I am in the midst of comparing complete sets of Mozart piano concertos and the old favorites such as Brendel and Perahia are great but lacking in modern sound .So I find myself gravitating more towards later good interpretations in better sound
So, which do you lean towards?

I will be focusing primarily on sound quality, with accurate instrumental localization, pinpoint imaging, and an immersive soundstage—arguably even surpassing the actual performance experience. Interpretation is also important, but it is a secondary priority for me. I will likely pick up two to three versions in my playlist for comparison. |
I discovered Beethoven piano concerto with him and i dont mind the sound i hear the soul... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAfCW2-3NxA Nothing beat Furtwangler direction very often... In the history of remote viewing a soul with music Furtwangler reading of the 4th of Schumann is unsurpassed, i pity those who listen "sound" not music : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t5I7PYh_EU&list=RD9t5I7PYh_EU&start_radio=1
Probably one of the greatest interpretation of music i know.... Who care about the sound which remastered anyway is "good" ... Audiophilia hiding musical genius is an impediment ....
It is like marrying a beautifully artificially enhanced woman body ....
Anyway i dont hear "sound" after my system optimization was completed, i hear music ...All recordings appear as they are some better some worst, but music like a spiritual woman is beautiful in spite of being dressed in rags ....
Who cares about the "sound" here need a new heart not a new system : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cv_wV7H-JU&list=RD4cv_wV7H-JU&start_radio=1 |
