    Great choice. IMHO, the best ever recording of Dvorak's. In my opinion, even better than the "reference" Rostropovich/Karajan.

    Recently I had the same discussion in other forum that I participate. Even though this is off topic, just for the record the following plot shows how I do it.

    I echo this. Despite different opinions on a number of subjects, he is well above the average user contribution here.

    CanOpener?

    I agree that it is a really nice app. I have been using it for  a long time.   I miss a few minor features:   1. The possibility to change to "Album artist" from "artist" 2. The possibility to "Shuffle by Album" - a feature missed from a lot of the current ios players 3. A wider range of...

    I listen to the unabridged version of the audiobook. It is quite interesting from the historical point of view. A few minor injustices but at all a nice reading.

    Talking about piano I am quite excited with this 'new' release:   Finally we will have a nice sounding record of this masterpiece? I like the sound and the performance of Melnikov, but of Nikolayeva it is hard to find. If I am not wrong, this release contains the recording of 1987 - the one...

    Talking about solo keyboard sonatas, my personal preferences:   Beethoven: Arrau, Pollini, Barenboim (Arrau's Hammerklavier is very nice)   Mozart: Pires and Brendel (I have Gould's cycle here as well, but I do enjoy only a few of his performances, his tempi notion is somewhat weird for...

    CanOpener?

    Is this app still under development? Long time no posts from the dev and long time without updates. Since their website shows a bunch of new stuff, I wonder if canopener is benched..

    +1 on the Nocturnes: part of the great Chopin Box of DG. Her Mozart Solo Sonatas are also worth listening.

    My bad!!! Obviously I was talking about "Album"...  It hangs with the message "Gets a list of songs of iPod" then crashes...

    The Accudio app by golden ears, a headphone revolution.

    Another feedback about the latest version: If I list by "Artist" my ipod library (not "Local") with over 60GB music, the app crashes. Reading some reviews, this is a known bug. The app experiences some difficult with large libraries.

    Congrats. In my opinion, Mozart String Q4s doesn't get any better than this.

    Since most of his recordings that I had previously were Bruckner and Brahms, a lot of the stuff in the box were new to me. As highlights, I point out great interpretations of: Mussorgsky`s Pictures Korsakov`s Scheherezade Debussy`s La Mer

    Changing a bit the subject.  Got a really nice gift this week:   Genius or nuts?

    Just an additional remark: back to Moscow, for this kind of coincidence that no one will never explain, he died in the same day as Joseph Stalin. In summary, Prokofiev, even being in Moscow, didn't get a burial ceremony that he deserved. I think that Richter stopped at his burial but had to...

    The Accudio app by golden ears, a headphone revolution.

    Thanks a lot for your feedback.   I think for me the bugs that you mentioned are also the main thing. Unfortunately I think that gapless playback is worth the effort as well. I really hope that they can fix it in a next version.    I have the pro (paid) version just for the lazy possibility...

    Usually I listen on a regular basis his 2nd Piano Concerto. Despite the critics I really like Rattle`s Lang Lang combination. The 3rd I have only one record: Ashkenazy and Solti from the Bartok Solti box.

    Indeed. His 2nd Bartok is great. I enjoy mostly the one from my Boulez Bartok box: great sound combined with a great perfomance.
