Reference Recordings (The Label)

Any Reference Recordings fans out there…?

Just ordered this CD:

Yes, I have a number of the series featuring EIji Oue & Minnesota Orchestra and also the Tutti album. All very good recordings. Of course their catalogue is much bigger than the small sampling I have.

[dchang05]

Thanks! I ordered one from Amazon

Count me in as a RR fan. The recordings on balance are quite good from the Minnesota and Pittsburg symphonies. The Mahler 1st, San Saines organ, and Shostakovich 4th are my favorites.

John Rutter’s Requiem and Five Anthems sung by the Turtle Creek Chorale moves my soul. The greatest recording of this work I’ve ever heard, thanks to RR,

I have accumulated a number of their recordings over the years. Haven’t purchased any in quite some time but therir use of HDCD in the past was always a plus in my opinion.

One of my favorites both in terms of recording quality and musically:

And another:

Thanks for the posts, guys.

Now I have more to explore.

My favorite RR release.

[dchang05]

I owned quite a few from RR, but I need to revisit them since they have not been listen to in my current system yet

[scotte1]

I have several, older KQ releases on CD - a mixed bag, in terms of how much I enjoy them (artistry and musicality aside).

I’ll definitely check this one out.

Beside the Kronos Quartet trekkers, I also have the recordings of Nojima from List and Ravel. The late two are really good and makes me think I really need to have to give them a listen again.
Thanks for bringing up the subject!

Hey, thanks for this, Scott. I wish, though, RR would specify the recording method for each release, similar to how Cookie does it for Blue Note. I typically try and buy in the as-captured format if possible.

Picked up this release in mint, sealed condition a few years back. In spite of the fact that Valin and Fremer (and many others) raved about the release I found it to be a huge disappointment. I’ve come to the conclusion I just don’t care much for the recording technique used on many of the old RCA Living Stereo discs. There are exceptions I enjoy though.

Just ordered this (CD) on a pre-release basis:

Looked too good to pass up (dang e-mail lists )… I hope the recording quality is excellent.

Going to order that one as well. Do you have the RR Tchaikovsky 4th that came out last year? A good one.
