savoybrown Unregistered guest | So far I only have 6 high rez discs, but am looking to expand not only my collection, but also my horizons. As my musical taste runs from rock to rap, blues & jazz, I'm looking for any recommendations in the classical area with a bit of bite to it. I read somewhere that the 1812 overture, with the cannons is awesome. Any comments or other recommendations? |

I have been buying these, just for the DVD-A sound, and discovered some great music I would never, otherwise, have bought. If you want "bite" try the Shostakovich Leningrad Symphony, also his Jazz Suites. I never owned any Shostakovich before. Holst's The Planets will also blow you out of your seat. |
