Great tip about the Pastoral; I usually default to Karl Bohm's classic account which is also available MQA, so great to get another option.

But it is bewildering how the albums get tagged. Often the singers are the tag e.g. Gundula Janowitz for the Bernstein 'Fidelio'...not how I would have tagged it.

Still the choice of releases defies understanding...it seems soon we get the Karajan 'Cav & pag', and the Abbado 'Figaro'...why those?

Hoping there will be developments in Munich next week; it's a year now since the partnership with Sony was announced...they have some Bernstein!

Richard,

Yes, the Bohm is also superb, I was listening to his 7th the other day and do continue to love his interpretation.

It is strange which albums they seem to choose, yes, although always fun to discover an unexpected MQA treat to listen to. Sticking with Bernstein, again, why West Side Story, surely the most unhappy collaboration (if you can call it that) between the maestro and poor José Carreras?

Sony have a wealth of Bernstein! Much of which I have on CD, but an MQA white glove would be most welcome. In contrast to the mid-70s Pastoral on Deutche Grammophon, many of those earlier New York recordings can be searingly bright (the Appalachian Spring from that era springs to mind). Whether that’s the recording itself or related to mastering, who knows, but maybe we have a chance to find out once MQA get round to some...

Not sure if it's already been posted, but every original Star Wars album just appeared with MQA treatment on Tidal!

Now if they could get to JW's score for The Last Crusade, which to me is the best of the Indy scores...

Sometimes there is a nice surprise.

May be the good weather, but it's great that Poco's 'Rose of Cimarron' has come to Tidal in MQA.

Good to see the new Yannick Nezet-Sguin/Rotterdam collection appear in MQA too (you do need to search using Rotterdam to get the Bruckner and Mahler).

Hi RGraham,

Could you provide a list of the albums so we can identify them more easily? Is the artist Rotterdam Philharmonic?

Thanks /bt
