In Reply to: Raving about AIX posted by Jim Pearce on May 07, 2003 at 21:34:21:
I’ve had the Mozart/Schumann disc and the Marcello/Handel/Vivaldi titles for several months now, and I’m still enthralled every time I listen! As I’ve implied previously here, all titles in AIX’s recent "Image Entertainment" set (recorded in Bucharest) are reference material for any 5.1 system.
Follow Ups:
It's definitely interesting when people have had a title for some time and still recommend it. I bought too many records that sound great, have good music, but sit on my shelf.
Could some of you who have good experience of AIX post a list of the top (say, 5) AIX "must have" titles?I'm curious about several titles, but have no way of judging the replay value.

I suggest you go to the AIX and also TACET websites and look at their offerings - Tacet DVD-A's are shown as "DVD" releases. They are all equally good in their recording's - what you need to do is determine which musical piece you would like. You'll like what they did with it, any of them. It is an individual choice only you an make. You won't go wrong with any music from these two studios in my opinion.
I've done that, but like I said, I think feedback from people who have had the titles for a while and still recommend it after a few months, is worth a lot more than any review. (I usually pay more attention to those reviews on Amazon when the reviewer says he has had the CD for several months than when the rewiever has just unpacked it : )I have just too many records that I found great at first, but don't care so much after a month or so.

And, for balance, here are some non-classical selections:John McCuen/Jimmy Ibbotson Nitty Gritty Surround
Zephyr Voices Unbound
Jim DeJulio Jazz Quintet Same
Luis Conte, David Garfield, David Carpenter Latin Jazz Trio
My most played AIX classical titles (in no particular order):-~ Marcello/Handel/Vivaldi [respectively: (a) Oboe concerto; (b) Organ concerto; (c) Sinfonias];
~ Mozart Variations/Schumann Fantasie (piano solos);
~ Scarlatti/Beethoven: woodwind quartets;
~ Mozart: Symphony nos. 26 & 41 / Jupiter;
~ Chopin: Four Ballades (piano solo).
