This guy does an OK Eroica, or so I have heard.
This is a reminder of how often I have to choose between a conductorās unique interpretation, the orchestraās performance (particularly intonation and my sense of their enthusiasm, often palpable in a live performance) and the quality of the recording. Itās interesting to me how varied our ultimate āfavoriteā version can be!

PS Iāve played it twiceā¦Timpaniā¦FUN and EXCITING!!!
I had 5 versions on my list but 2 were not UHD. Iām on a UHD kick. One of those was the Telarc version, which was the first one I ever heard. I donāt remember what the other one was.
I think my favorite is the Previn one from 1974.
Yes I plan to ck your list furtherā¦the one I posted is not uhd, but an old favorite.
The more time I spend with good gear the more I favor 24/96 or 192. Like cables, there IS a difference!
I remember the first time I heard a Telarc sample disc through my Klipsch KG4ās.
A wow moment.
