If I had to pick a favorite conductor it would be Jansons. Every recording
I have of him is special -- Shostakovich, Honneger, Mahler, Tchaikovsky.
He is my favorite Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich conductor. Of the several
Mahler 6ths I have, his is my favorite by far (LSO Live).
I hope there will be a lot of recordings coming from him and RCO. I was
excited when I read an earlier posting on this list that RCO will put
out RCO Live recordings, similar to LSO Live. I hope the sound quality
is as good as the LSO Live recordings.
BTW, although I amd very impressed by the sound of the LSO Live recordings,
there is one exception in my collection: Bruckner 6 w/Davis. It's very
compressed, which surprised me, since one of the most dynamic recordings
I have is the German Requeim on LSO Live.
