Steinberg at bis best
Ich liebe die alten Command-Aufnahmen. Sehr gute Übertragung. Bin gespannt auf weitere Veröffentlichungen.

Rach Symphony 2 Steinberg
Excellent but pricey.


Excellent performance captured with tremendous clarity
Along with Andre Previn, this is one of my favorite recordings of Rachmaninoff's Second. Powerful, musical, with real sentiment, but not sentimental and definitely no schmaltz. Intellect meets emotion. Bob Fine's recording captures tremendous detail, with great clarity, and precise soundstage placement of instruments. Just a truly remarkable. The transfer from this 4-track tape is outstanding.
Shadow of the original
I have a mint copy of the original Command LP. An A B comparison shows HDTT’s DVD Audio disc to be sadly sonically lacking in every dimension, especially in the bass which is richer and fuller on the LP. I would have thought the HDTT mastering would have at least matched the record In sonic quality.
Steinberg's Rachmaninov
Bringing Steinberg's recorded legacy back to life is one of the very best things HDTT has done. This a typically taught and energetic performance of the symphony, and has surely never sounded better.
