Williams: Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind - Gerhardt | Gurkensalat - May 16, 2023
This has nothing to do with my setup. MC recordings with ambience only in the rear do just that. While this recording has clearly discreet instrument placing in the surround ...
Shostakovich: Symphonies 8-10 - Petrenko | listening - May 29, 2023
A superb recording of Shostakovich's symphonies 8-10. Great virtuosity, full dynamics, a lot of details. Listened to in stunning stereo.
Rossini: 6 String Sonatas - Accardo, Gazeau, Meunier, Petracchi | Athenaeus - May 18, 2023
I recently purchased this set. I love it! I must admit I didn't know these works before. I'm surprised this wonderful music doesn't get recorded more often. The sonics are ...
Rachmaninov: 4 Piano Concertos, Paganini Rhapsody - Ashkenazy, Previn | Contrapunctus - May 30, 2023
Esoteric is going to release these recordings on June 17th. Given the already brilliant transfers out there, I'm definitely not interested.

Beethoven: Piano Concertos 1-5 - Ohlsson, Runnicles | Adrian Quanjer - May 18, 2023
Indeed, John, no Soundmirror. Original Recording Format: PCM 192 kHz. Hence half a star missing. As I suggested, this release is not meant to supersede your best choice.
Eclipse, Vol. 2 - Spee | Marcus DiBenedetto - May 15, 2023
Thank you Adrian for your review! Of course, I agree, this is a wonderful release. I've listened to it many times now since downloading the DXD 352.8/32 surround version. I ...
Rachmaninov: 4 Piano Concertos, Paganini Rhapsody - Ashkenazy, Previn | Athenaeus - Today 02:20 pm
Indeed! In June they will also release Milstein's recording of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas. A great set! The thing is, though, that Tower Records released this one on SACD not ...

It is an extraordinary sounding album (in fact one of my favorite demo albums). The bass sound is absolutely natural, the atmosphere intimate, and Bianchini's voice wonderful. The selection of pieces is unthinkably eclectic, but they flow with total fluidity, ranging from Paul Simon (Heart and Bones) or Noel Gallagher (Wonderwall) to an incredible traditional Venezuelan composition (Pajarillo Verde).
