Dvorak: Symphony No. 9 - Kertesz    (10 of 16 found this review helpful)
  March 13, 2009

If there is any recording that I would spend extra for, this is probably it. I know the $60 price tag leaves many gasping in horror. Is this what we've come to? $60 for something that is a little over $30 in Japan? Well it is worth it! I might go out of my way to pay the same if Esoteric finally ... more
Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique - Paray      (8 of 8 found this review helpful)

Oh my God! Wow!!! Are you ready to be terrorized by a March that literally makes you feel as if you ARE the person being marched to the scaffold or a Witch's Sabbath that makes you feel as if Witches are right there harassing you?

I have been waiting for this recording to grace the SACD format since the inception of the Living Stereo recordings and I am in no way disappointed in the recording or the performance. It is a three channel recording and as such we get a wonderfully full and detailed account of one of classical ... more
Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6, Francesca da Rimini - Neeme Järvi        (6 of 8 found this review helpful)
  November 3, 2004

After listening to this about 5 times, I feel I can now give my thoughts on the matter. It is generally accepted that whenever a conductor comes to a work they have some idea how they want to conduct it. I'm sure Jarvi came to the Tchaikovsky 6 with some previous conceptions on how to proceed. I'm ... more

Since they're all the same, no price. When I cut my daughter's cord, it looked exactly like that of her brother's two years later. ... more

Says the man who thinks money or some "list price" is going to impress. Tell you what, the "list price" for many items at Ross Dress for Less are supposedly $89.95 and you get them for $19.95. Wow! What savings. Same here. Wow! What savings (as I roll my eyes). ... more

$2000 for one power cord. A power cord that transmits electrical current to a machine, just like others do, and just as well. Not progress in any way whatsoever. A fool and his money are soon parted. Wise words. ... more
