Gustav Holst: The Planets, John Williams: Star Wars Suite      (6 of 6 found this review helpful)
  November 27, 2015

Like many sick in the head lovers of classical music this is actually the third different Shm Sacd of Holst that I bought. I have already reviewed the Ozawa sacd which is awesome and I also liked the Karajan Shm Sacd version as well but slightly less. I was very curious about this Mehta recording ... more

Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 - Bernstein      (4 of 8 found this review helpful)
  July 22, 2015

1980/ 5 tracks/ 44 minutes My favorite version of this famous Symphony is that conducted and recorded by Bruno Walter in 1958. The Sony sacd is excellent if not ever so slightly bright (in a good way). There are those pundits who feel that Bruno's interpretation is over blown and OVER THE TOP but ... more
