Now listening to the 2nd via Qobuz desktop FLAC stream. So far, it does not disappoint. Only the 9th to go now, and they will have recorded the lot.

Originally posted by kea View PostOT but Qobuz related question (I may have asked this before, don't remember): are recordings listed as unavailable for streaming on the website made available to stream for paid subscribers? I'm thinking particularly of the majority of ECM, MDG and Hyperion releases, which all seem to be listed as download only; especially because they're not on NML or Spotify either.

It's a bit annoying that the Bruckner editions used by Scrowaczewski are not mentioned anywhere in the booklet or other artwork. One amazon.com customer offers:
"F minor (Nowak); No.1 (Haas, the so-called "Linz" version of 1877); "0" (Nowak); #2 (1st Nowak edition--a hybrid of 1877 and 1872); #3 (Nowak's edition of the 1888-89 version); #4 (Nowak's edition of the 1886 version); #5 (Nowak's edition of the 1878 version); #6 (Nowak); #7 (Nowak); #8 (Nowak's edition of the 1890 revised version); #9 (Nowak)". At least one gets away from Haas's arrangement of the 8th.

As of now it's the cello sonatas as done by Miklós Perényi & András Schiff. For whatever reason I've never warmed to the personalities of the musicians on the well-loved Du Pré/Barenboim recording, and think this might be a better fit. (Was also interested in Pieter Wispelwey & Paul Komen's period instruments recording but it seems to be out of print)

Originally posted by MickyD View PostI am even later, as I only just got round to getting The Hanover Band's Beethoven symphony cycle which must have been about the very first HIP cycle of all. If you like the big Nimbus acoustic (which I do), then it's worth a listen.

Given the plentifull stocks on my shelves, I rarely buy any LvB discs these days. The last two purchases were some time ago, with opposite results. A second hand copy of the violin concerto from Zehetmair / Bruggen on Philips proved to be quite the dullest, blandest and most tedious recording of this work I have ever heard and was given to a charity shop. Whereas, the sparkling recordings of the complete symphonies by Anima Eterna / Immerseel have gained a high place in my affections, along with Mackerras, Zinman, Norrington, Chailly, Cluytens, Kempe .................
