Genesis: Abacab | Downunderman - December 9, 2025

Chris Bellman has done a good job on the mastering here. There are grumbles in some quarters that the bass is not as strong as they would like, but this is essentially a ...

Joni Mitchell: Court and Spark | Downunderman - Yesterday 12:34 am

Quite remarkable how good this sounds - Its an album recorded in 1974 after all. Rob LoVerde's mastering seems to have modernized the presentation somewhat and the album ...

Bruckner: Symphony No. 8 - Young | DYB - Yesterday 06:36 pm

Many years ago, probably in the 1990s, I remember seeing/hearing Simone Young conducting at the Metropolitan Opera, and she was so... ordinary and instantly forgettable. I ...

Stile Antico: A Wondrous Mystery

Early music vocal ensemble Stile Antico has been praised for "breathtaking freshness, vitality and balance" by The New York Times. This new Christmas program of Renaissance polyphony features a glorious mass by the Flemish master Jacobus Clemens non Papa, alongside traditional old-German carols and motets, many of them still sung to this day. This is an irresistibly festive collection from the group that has become "the gold standard in this repertory" (The Independent).
