In Reply to: What are your favorite Telarc classical CDs? posted by jkend on November 18, 2002 at 07:37:50:
...is a pretty fabulous (2-CD) set I think. Martin Pearlman and the Boston Baroque perform on period instruments, and the sense of a real atmosphere and all of the other important aspects of a good recording are there! I cannot really compare the actual performance to any others on CD or vinyl. However, I do love this performance. The notes say that this 20-bit recording is "compatible with all surround sound systems, and will play properly with total fidelity through a standard stereo system." All I can say is that it is quite amazing in stereo, and I think that this is one disc that might sound very nice in a surround format - but who knows? This is a very opulent work. I also have Handel's Messiah on Telarc CD but I am a little less impressed with Martin Pearlman conducting the Boston Baroque here. The recording quality is up to the usual Telarc standards in most ways, however. Any other thoughts from anyone on the Monteverdi discs?
