Norton Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Really excellent SQ on this new recording from Chandos: https://www.chandos.net/details06.asp?CNumber=CHSA%205164 I think it might be the first hi res version of these pieces, excepting the Bernstein SACD transfers? Perhaps surprising it's "only" recorded in 24/96 when some other Chandos SACDs at least are native DSD. Link to comment

From the previews, all sounded promising other than Hoedown, where the orchestra displays a very British sense of this traditional dance rhythm from the American West; it feels to me as if they're trying to catch up with the beat. But overall I am really looking forward to it. One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.

Very nice - if you like these, there's also a recent 24/96 release from the Colorado Symphony Orchestra / Litton and a DSD64 redo of the famous Detroit Symphony recording with Slatkin.

mkrzych Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I have this physical CD from MTT and like it very much. Interesting if the high resolution Chandos version will be better in the performance? What I can see unique, is the fact that Chandos releases all of the most favorite Copland's music on one album IMHO. -- Krzysztof Maj http://mkrzych.wordpress.com/ "Music is the highest form of art.

firedog Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I have the Redbook from Reference Recordings of Copland. Also a very good recording.

Jud Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I have the Redbook from Reference Recordings of Copland. Also a very good recording. Is that the "chamber" version? If so, I have the LP. Great sound quality of course, but I miss the big dynamics a full orchestra can provide. One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.

Norton Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 As this is styled "Copland Orchestral Works Volume 1" I hope that promises good things for future Chandos releases , especially Symphony 3. I have and like both the Oregon Symphony recording on Pentatone and an old Detroit Symphony RB on Chandos, but another hi res version would be welcome. Link to comment
