4 titles available for pre order now with release around 2nd June (it appears some have already sold out and they were only listed yesterday I think!!!), apparently 12 will be issued over this year.
It’s interesting that they all completely miscalculate the first time.
The consolation is that classical recordings from almost every other label sound better (recording wise) than DG recordings, with very few exceptions, and that there are enough good or better interpretations available.
Some of my most listened to albums (now digital only) are on DG recorded from the 1960’s forward and a majority sound bright, over-miked, hard and even brittle) Same era recordings from Decca and EMI, for example, are startlingly good.
Yes, I never cared for DG CDs when they started coming out, but I’m hoping these recordings may be something better than what I’ve heard in the past.
Well after I listened to several symphonic DG reissues I have and saw that at least 2-3 of them sounded very good, I pulled the trigger to try 3 of the new ones (leaving out the trout quartet which I don’t like).
