Does anyone else here share my passion for Anton Nanut? Long-term conductor of the Ljubliana SO. Now deceased.His Beethoven is superb. Nanut's is my fave version of the 7th. I've only ever found 1 to 8, never seen a 9th ...

Yes, Jerry, thanks,I would like to pick some Anton Nanut CDs, not everything from you list but juts some of them. What I would be interesting if the Japanese folks ever pressed Nanut CD/LPs. In SOME cases the Japanese CD mastering is much more intere...

[quote user="JANDL100"] Re: the Mahler "Nanut set" - I think you might find that symphonies 2, 3, 7, 8 & 9 are not by Nanut after all. But please let me know if I am wrong about that![/quote]I got the CD SET yesterday. Here is what it...

I hate when I'm listening to think of the composers, or performers themselves, in cases where their personal lives or politics were (are) vulgar, or even abhorant. Plenty of examples, unfortunately. As for Brahms, we have discussed here that not all...

One of the paragraphs in my initial posts mentioned the Mravinsky’ own version of the Nutcracker suits. A few days ago I discovered a performance of it that I did not head. It was on 12 October 1977 by Mravinsky with his Leningrad Philharmonic, live ...

I remember when hearing Mahlers 2nd. for the first time.
It was Bernsteins recording with LSO from 1974 (?)
Liner notes from Bruno Walter.
Anyways I was floored.
I got the record in a used record store, and it was very noisy, unfortunately.
That...

When I was making a sarcastic joke about you begin to enjoy slow
interpretations (something that any VERY good playback should do to a system
owner) and referred you to the Barbirolli’s Mahler of cause I mean the exquisite performance of 1967 of S...

Clark demanded that I, too, concentrate on Bruckner.At first listen I thought it was lacking in that frenzied intelligence of Mahler - too simple. With time I see how idiotic that impression was and my listening to Mahler is almost nil where Bruckne...

Below is the text from Slovens Website that presumably knows Anton Nanut. According to them Mr. Nanut did record the Beethoven Nineth. Interesting is that Nanut also record Dvorak’s last symphonies, Jerry, are they interesting in Slovenian rendering?...

Amy the Kitten is amazing. Next week, on Feb 12 we have our anniversary. Amy informed me that I need to have the rest of the week after 12 off and that she booked a secret anniversary trip for us. I was guessing what it might be and a Vermont sky res...

I remember a couple year back I was observing how sound of playback interact with sound of the forest just out of my listening room. Somebody even proposed that it would be fun to have Mahler 7 complimented by the scream “off stage” life deer… Last n...

Romy,
When you say no good sounding Bruckner LPs do you mean no "great" sounding, or that all Bruckner LPs sonics are average or worse?
It would help if you gave an example of late 19th C Romantic music on LP that you did con...

Well, the logistics of this symphony are mind boggling, beyond the issues presented by the score, and I have wondered which it is that tends to undermine the work, as I have heard it. It's not like M8 is "merely" a lot of musicians playing ensemble,...
