Jascha Heifetz, Charles Munch, & Boston Symphony Orchestra - Beethoven: Violin Concerto (in D)

Product No: AAPC 1992-45
Available: InStock
Category: 45 RPM Vinyl Record
Label: Analogue Productions (RCA Living Stereo)

Very disappointed with the pressing

2 Stars
Posted Sunday, March 8, 2026 by Anonymous I was really looking forward to this new pressing with 180 gram & 45 rpm. I actually have a copy of my dad's original mono LP from RCA Victor LM-1992.

As soon as I received the new copy I put it on the turntable & enjoyed tremendously the clean sounding reproduction, & of course Heifetz's beautiful playing. Unfortunately, the song faded out early on both First & Second movement before the ending of side 1 & side 3. I totally understands because of the 45 rpm each side can not store the same amount of data as compared to a 33-1/3 version, but to fading out without any warning is just not acceptable. Especially, with the amount that they are charging.

BTW, I have all 7 copies of the Steely Dan 200g, 45 rpm UHQR LP & none of them have the same problem.

Again, very disappointed with this purchase.

Harold Farberman - All Star Percussion Ensemble

The finest rendition of this landmark musical composition ever made

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, February 4, 2026 by Anonymous Audio Nautes signature "don't mess with the master" is clearly demonstrated here in all its glory. The quality of this CD is quite frankly stunning . If you are a fan of high quality vinyl, don't pass up on that version, its equally spectacular. Both this CD and the vinyl version are archival quality renditions in every way

Dream or nightmare?

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, August 21, 2025 by Gordon Johnson There is insufficient space afforded here for any thing like a justifiable review so I'll keep is short n sweet. Roger Pines, "A set to dream about". Gordon Johnson, " A set to have nightmares about if you miss the chance to own a copy". Biggest (only?) downside to this set are the lack of anti static inners, so expect a static battle.

Fritz Reiner - Respighi: Pines of Rome & Fountains of Rome

Product No: CAPC 2436 SA
Available: LimitedStock
Category: Hybrid 3-Channel Stereo SACD
Label: Analogue Productions (RCA Living Stereo)

Incredible!!

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, July 17, 2025 by Anonymous All I can say is this sounds fantastic. I can't believe this recording is over 60 years old! The separation, detail, and even the sound of the hall it was recorded in comes through. It feels like you're sitting in the audience listening live. Not only that, but these are brilliant masterpieces, perfectly played by the top notch Reiner/CSO combo.

Absolutely Stunning

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, May 15, 2025 by Wised Anne Sopie at the apex of her extraordinary skill, full digital recording that captures every nuance on 45RPM. Superb pressing, absolutely silent background. Extraordinary mastering. I can assure you it never sounded this good in person anywhere unless you were in a studio. A tribute to when music studios knew how to make a real quality recording! A must have for any demanding audiphile library.

Stefan Skold: The Choir of St. Jacob, Stockholm - Mozart: Requiem, Choir Of St. Jacob

Label: Fidelio 2xHD

Mozart’s boldest piece!

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, April 30, 2025 by Terry The solo voices are wonderfully recorded. The chorus is a bit forward, not allowing the proper blend or warmth. And where is the orchestra? Good question. I found that if you crank your subwoofers up to double volume you get some occasional warmth from a piece that is supposed to be Mozart’s boldest composition. I gave it five stars because Chad will not otherwise print it.

Beautiful performance

4 Stars
Posted Wednesday, April 9, 2025 by Glenn The performance of these great symphonies is exceptional. I was a bit disappointed by the quality of the pressing -hence the 4 stars. It's good, but not as good as the Analogue Productions and UHQR pressings that I've been buying lately. I guess I'm spoiled.

Alban Berg Quartett - Beethoven: The Complete String Quartets

Label: Warner Classics

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, June 6, 2024 by Philip O'Hanlon On Monday afternoon I listened to Beethoven’s Quartet # 14, Op 131 with my friends; we were all gobsmacked. It was an ethereal experience. The music is sublime, the Alban Berg Quartet’s performance is superb and the sound quality is exemplary. This had to be some of the quietest vinyl we played in ages. This ten LP box set is a steal !!

Gustav Leonhardt - Bach: The Goldberg Variations

Product No: CWCL 90290 SA
Available: LimitedStock
Category: Hybrid Stereo SACD
Label: Esoteric (Warner Classics)

Incredible!!!

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, May 15, 2024 by Anonymous Yes, I know this is expensive but The Goldbergs are a favorite and I love the harpsichord. I had never heard of this performance and it was not even on my radar. i bought it on the reputation of the past Esoteric recording that I own. It may be the best on that I have. The playing is fantastic and the recording is wonderful One minor compliant. I feel that this may have been better in mono. The stereo is wide and sounds a little unnatural. If you love Bach as I do, this is worth seeking out. You may wish to find a way to listen to the performance before spending the $$ but I am so glad I purchased it.

A Masterpiece

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, March 24, 2024 by Chris They say that nothing is perfect; I say, if God has His hand in it, perfection is possible! "The Lark" is a true masterpiece and God placed in the mind of this composer and the hands of Jascha Heifetz a means to perfection! RTI did a great job on this one!

Michael Stern - Saint-Saens: Symphony No. 3 'Organ'

Available: BackOrdered
Category: 45 RPM Vinyl Record
Label: Reference Recordings

5 Stars
Posted Saturday, September 30, 2023 by Anonymous Very good fidelity, quiet surface, and and moving performance. My SVS sub shakes the room with the pedal notes; didn't know vinyl had such low, powerful frequencies! Highly recommended if you like this music. One needs a good low frequency system to appreciate the power of this performance. Otherwise, just a good, clean, orchestration and balanced organ. Again, recommended!

Great performance but...

4 Stars
Posted Friday, September 8, 2023 by Mike Love this, and can understand the TAS grading but at least on my record there is a distorted/compressed sound in passages when the keys are a bit more forcefully hit.
