I have noticed the odd click, and am beginning to suspect SACD/CD degradation going on, very annoying, especially as this is a great recording.

    Country: US
    Released: 2004
    Genre: Classical

    Sorted the blighter out. I noticed some fine scratches across the disk, so I took my SACD life in my hands and applied some very fine plastic polish and rubbed liberally until I could not see them, and I then polished the whole disc, popped into CD player and hey presto as if like magic it plays, no noise either. So I am enjoying it whilst I transfer it to FLAC. ��

    Onto this, excellent again from Blomstedt / SFSO.

    Kind of with you on that, Jerry. Trying to 'do' Hindemith at the moment as I don't feel I've given him a fair go. His lieder are excellent though, at least the ones I've heard. I have some chamber music - piano sonatas and the like - on order & hope I'll make some headway with his smaller stuff.

    Interesting, I've not come across Fabio Luisi before.
    Playing his Bruckner 9 atm, very impressive indeed!

    After 40 years of occasionally trying, I am finally getting the point of Nielsen's music.
    The 1st symphony here is really quite something!

    I love Nielsen, and there are now some really first rate cycles around. That Oramo is excellent, but there is strong competition from Alan Gilbert (dry recording) John Storgards and especially Paavo Jarvi - all well worth seeking out !

    I've listened to P Jarvi and Storgards, and Oramo gets my vote, for whatever that is worth!

    Magnificent - my favourite piece of music - it brought tears to my eyes.
