Terence, apropos your comment that the Solti "could do with a remastering" and our previous discussion under the "John Quinn Listening Room" thread, my 1999 Decca Legends copy claims it was "Remastered at 96kHz in 24-bit stereo from the original analogue mastertapes". Well, if one believes that, what could possibly be improved? But wait .... Previous Message I like the Chailly for the recording quality - a real problem for the Mahler 8th - and for Ben Heppner. Solti is good, but the recording now 50 years old could do with a remastering; the soloists are formidable, as is Solti.I like much about the Vanska, too, but I think a little dull; everything is in place, but not exhilaration.
