Rudolf Kempe is one of the undisputed great Strauss conductors, but EMI's CD mid-price box releases of his masterworks feature thin, irritating highs, deflated percussion, and compromised dynamics. Herald the arrival, then, of the DVD-Audio release of two of his treasured performances: RICHARD STRAUSS - EINE ALPENSINFONIE/ALSO
SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA - STAATSKAPELLE DRESDEN/RUDOLF KEMPE - EMI DVD-A
7234 4 92396 9 2.


Telarc was an early digital pioneer. Now, in much improved 2-layer SACD sound, they release two great early classic performances: TCHAIKOVSKY SYMPHONY NO. 4/STRAVINSKY THE RITE OF SPRING - THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA/LORIN MAAZEL - TELARC DSD SACD-60563.
