Also interesting - Is the Stiftsphilharmonie a HIP orchestra?

Q

The Stiftsphilharmonie Stuttgart [what a horrible name for international purposes!] was until last year known as Ensemble 94. "A distinctive aspect of the ensemble is... its ability to play either baroque or modern instruments... The StiPhiStu works primarily as a partner in the stylistically diverse performances with the Stuttgart Kantorei.

Kay Johannsen [conductor / music director] has twice in the last 12 years performed the complete organ works of J.S.Bach...

Landed today:


Shostakovich: Symphony No. 4 [Includes DVD]
Haitink & the CSO

This I have put off listening to for... well, ever since it came out. I don't know why... I liked all the other CSO Resound stuff. I didn't even know it contained a DVD. Watching it now. Finally.

And Imperfection:  What a set!!! Unabashedly beautiful Beethoven.

I haven't set to listen to it yet, though I did "spot-listen" a couple of places.  Will report when I've listened to the whole thing.

And Imperfection:  What a set!!! Unabashedly beautiful Beethoven.

That does look like it could tempt me to buy a second Beethoven symphony set.

It's a keeper, k arl! [assuming your ears are working properly (wink, wink)]

(though Wand's set on RCA recently became my new overall favorite)

[Air]

Say!  Have you had a chance to listen yet?

Yes, most certainly!  The 2nd and 3rd in full, snippets from the rest.  Very Gilels-esque playing, full of power and passion, but I'm not entirely sold yet.  Beroff is perfect for these works because he brings out both the Romantic and the Modernist in Prokofiev.  However, I'm used to these concertos with considerably more spice, so his style will take some getting used to.  (It does seem that this is not a love-at-first-listen set for most people, but one that the listener eventually grows into.)

But I will say this from experience: never trust first impressions! 

And I won't. 
Thanks for the recommendation, k arl

I'm a big fan of Wand's Beethoven, too, George, though I don't have everything - just a few symphonies from his studio set and a couple from his live set.
