In Reply to: What are your favorite Telarc classical CDs? posted by jkend on November 18, 2002 at 07:37:50:
The pre-CD-era Soundstream digitally-mastered LPs are recordings to die for... In fact, in my humble opinion, the best commercially-sold recordings ever made.Most-notably the flip side of the Kunzel/Cincinnati "1812" LP, with "Capriccio Italien" and "Kossack Dance"...
Most of the LPs from Telarc during that time are excellent, including Maazel/Cleveland Tchaikovsky "Romeo and Juliet," and Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition/Night on Bald Mountain."
Just be sure you have a system capable of capturing the dynamic range- Unfortunately not as easy as one might think. I honestly think this is the sole reason why these recordings didn't get unanimous acclaim.
