Mendelssohn: Complete Concertos - Markiz      (7 of 9 found this review helpful)
  February 1, 2008

There is much to admire and enjoy in this collection of Mendelssohn concertos originally issued by BIS in the mid 1990s on single cds and as a '4 for the price of 3' cd boxed set.

...and when has ever a topic remained on topic? .... Robert ok I agree but was getting worried about being banned as a result of talking about downloads which I thought was not allowed. I will to be more serious see if can find anything out about the Onyx download issue and email you privately (may take a few days or more). ... more

...how come someone else has this in 24 bits ... If Onyx are saying the original recordings were made in other than 24/96 then chances are someone has been doing a bit of file manipulation the question is who but perhaps we are now getting a bit off topic! ... more
