Musicophile Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I've just published my review on my blog, making a pretty bold claim: Will Cécile McLorin Salvant Become The Most Important Jazz Singer of Our Century? – A Review of For One To Love | From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Unlike her previous album, there is nothing weird about the 24/96 release, and it sounds fine to my ears. DR ranges from 8-13 with most track around10. Check out my blog at musicophilesblog.com - From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Link to comment
odelay Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Look forward to hearing it ? Good point about great vocalists playing against little more than elevator music.

Musicophile Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 And confusion starts again: ProStudiomasters sells a 24/88 version of the same album. Weird. Check out my blog at musicophilesblog.com - From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Link to comment
jhwalker Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 And confusion starts again: ProStudiomasters sells a 24/88 version of the same album. Weird. . . . and though Qobuz shows it as 24/96, if you go to download it, both 24/96 and 24/192 are available Wish we could get the straight scoop on which is the original!

Really? Didn't notice. Just downloaded the 24/96. But as you can see in the Musiscope plot there is nothing ongoing beyond 48khz anyhow.

Musicophile Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 ProStudioMasters have a good record of answering customer enquiries of this type, as do Qobuz. Unfortunately I have yet to hear back from Qobuz on what goes on with their 24/44 version of WomanChild, when everybody else sells a 24/96 and the label tells me 24/96 is the native version. And in spite of 3 reminders over the months I have my doubts I'll ever get a formal answer (and my money back).

Booster MPS Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I enjoyed your review and absolutely agree. At her tender young age she has set a new standard for vocal jazz. She deserves every superlative out there said about her. Special young voice. Link to comment

I can't see this on Qobuz UK site any more; is it still on the French site (I keep getting flipped back to the UK site) ? Link to comment

They may not have UK rights. Maybe you need to go via Hdtracks. Check out my blog at musicophilesblog.com - From Keith Jarrett to Johannes Brahms Link to comment
craighartley Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 They may not have UK rights. Maybe you need to go via Hdtracks. Thanks, though that wasn't the point of my question as I was wondering if they had withdrawn it since I saw it. But I've just managed to persuade my browser to look at the French site and I can see that it's still there at 44.1. Link to comment

Just to add some more worms to the can! Link to comment

firedog Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 If you are concerned about the provenance and paying for an iffy hi-res file: it sounds great streaming in Redbook on Tidal.

Agree, that is always a good option. The HD Tracks ver does really sound great though. It's on sale for $15.28 there + another 15% off this weekend so the price is absolutely right. I would encourage those interested to not get too caught up in the analysis if you can get the HD Tracks version this weekend. Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I posted a question about the native resolution in the HDtracks sponsored forum. http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f29-hdtracks-sponsored/cecile-mclorin-salvant-one-love-native-resolution-25721/#post463314 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
