I love this initiative! At the end of the day, we all get into this hobby for the love of music. Even though I watch reviews because I’m a bit of a gear nerd (engineer bad habit😅), at the end of the day I cannot even dream of trying 99% of the gear under review. What I can actually experience, and usually do, is the music mentioned in the reviews. Thanks to many reviewers, my music repertoire has grown tremendously, especially well recorded albums that can truly show me what my gear can actually do. I hope that fellow audiophiles value this initiative, because I want to see more videos like this in the future.
Excellent video topic! Permit me, however, to suggest that Vanska's Mahler 3 is on the flacid side and misses Mahler's sense of humor, IMHO, eventhough the audio recording itself is magical. Compare it to any Bernstein version. Some alternatives are the Ivan Fischer/Budapest Festival/Channel (HI-RES, SACD) and the Mehta/LAP/Decca (HI-RES, reissue LP) yield both superior sonics and interpretations. Thanks again and keep the suggestions coming.
Thanks for the video Tom - at 4:13, you mentioned the dynamic range of most pop is 10 dB, many would be lucky to make that, with the "loudnbess wars", some may be 2 or less!
The Mahler 3rd Symphony is beautiful. I am familiar with the Levine conducting the CSO version. If there's an even better one, I'd love to discover it. Anout 20 years ago the Pope requested Mahler 3rd to be played by a visiting symphony orchestra from America. Maheler's brother in law was Anatole Fistoulari; one of the better ballet music conductors of all time.
@@DeepHorizon3773 There are over 500 brands of speakers currently being marketed. So it isn’t so much a matter of love as it is a matter of awareness and experience. Many OEMs keep a very low profile. Do you have some favorable experience or are you just curious?
And the connection with Mahler is ?? $7,000 is still a bit more than most can consider; but the desire is there to someday be in a position to consider them.
I’m sure all of these are great recordings, unfortunately, after the swearing in of a certain orange person, I’ve had to rely on alcohol to get through my day😢
@@chrislj2890Well, at least none of those people that you mentioned are convicted felons, incited an insurrection nor have been found liable for sexual assault.
Great video, would love to see more of this type!

I love the dynamic range shout out as well!
What is this good good music sound thing they were talking about????

The Vanska may be more in the category of 'different' than 'better'.
Please more
And music that you love but for some reason is not included in product reviews.
No Love for Fischer & Fischer Speakers here ?
They have a USA Dealer here now !

I beg to differ, everyone over the age of 4 should enjoy Mahler ;-)
Good point, though “should” and “does” don’t seem to be the same.

That's okay, just stay loaded, listen to Taylor Swift, and watch The View and Rachel Maddow for the next four years.
