Back to the "Best Classical Recordings". Hohenstein's Mahler Third was unavailable on CD for many years. Now Prestoclassical offers a download http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/r/Unicorn/UKCD2006. This recording belongs to a batch of Unicorn Canchana Recordings that were released on Prestoclassical a few weeks ago. They are planing to offer the complete back catalogue of this eclectic label. Look out for Horenstein's Nielsen Symphonies, the complete of the same composer under Ole Schmidt, etc. These are really remarkable performances in very good sound.

Presto classical has became too expensive IMHO, i now use qobuz or amazon​

Another "incoherent" post for those interested in threading the long line:

I don't have that particular release of the set. It's worth knowing that the Beethoven's 4th in the Sony Essential Classics budget line has an annoying pause between the 2d and 3d movements. One can supplement those discs with this one which has the smooth transition.



It's my second favorite 4th, after his teacher Schnabel's 1942 recording with Stock/Chicago. I prefer Fleisher's 1st and 3d though.

I am not familiar with the Sony reissue you mention. 
I grew up with the original vinyl and set I`ve mentioned here.
 
Powerful recordings..
 
Schnabel of course is crucial listening as well

Has anyone found some good albums off of Bandcamp?

The little Sound Liaison label has released their first purely classical recording, I don't know if this is the best classical recording ever but the SQ is spectacular, the repertoire well chozen and the 2 young virtuoso are truly deserving wider recognition;

 Levan Tskhadadze (clarinet) and Izhar Elias (guitar) play their instruments with an incredible transparency, refined articulation and subtle musical colours. It is their own story they create. Their music speaks as if they are talking with each other through their instruments.

Mesmerising...

That's great. It made me look up a Buxtehude vid I saw a while back. This is the prequel (historically and visually):

Enjoying this now. Thought it would be good background for some work, but despite it's minimalist score, I find it too mezmerizing for work.
