REShaman Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Jimmy Smith: The Cat SHM-SACD. SQ is on the bright side. Semi-disappointed. Reviews gave The Cat a 10 for performance and an 8 for sound. I concur. As recommended at this thread by those who know. akiko suwanai: Poème Hybrid SACD. XLD conversion to AIFF. Just wonderful. Enjoying the music pre blizzard, Richard Link to comment

wkhanna Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Probably not well reviewed. Befitting a work probably not reviewed at all. Still, great emotion is stirred in me by this particular work. One of the V first SeeDee's I ever purchased. From 1990, I have heard better recordings of this piece. But like ones own offspring, none quite as 'special'.

wkhanna Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Meant to add... In fact by my choosing, Piano Sonata 8 C Minor Pathetique Adagio Cantabile was played as The Wife made promenade to me during our wedding ceremony.

ckpiv Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 WAR - The World is a Ghetto 40th Anniversary Expanded Edition HDTracks 24/96 download. One of my best HDtracks purchases. Every time I listen to this album it makes me wish all high Rez would sound this good! Link to comment
wkhanna Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 PC's 3&4 are my favorite of Beethoven's. And like the Star Spangled Banner, have been interpreted in all sorts & fashions. This one from Kempff, Leitern & the BPO is still my personal favorite. Bill Practicing Curmudgeon & Audio Snob ....just an "ON" switch, Please! Link to comment
