I'm loving this album. Jazz trio: female singer, double bass, and trumpet--beautifully recorded. Unless you absolutely hate that kind of thing, you should check this out. The DSD download is available at Native DSD, with 10% off for another week or so.

 

This is one sweet album! Thanks for enlightening me!

Simply one of the most stunning and under-rated artist of the late 20th century.

Her voice and delivery have yet to be matched by any of the other so-called "Pop-Divas".

A true treasure if you can find the time and right equipment to experience her range.

 

 

Don't say I didn't warn you....

 

Oh my!

Just tripped across this -- very nice. streaming from Tidal.

Very nice album -- thanks for the post! Streaming via Tidal (easiest to search on the album name -- doesn't not show up under Jackson Trio).

Here is a performance of pieces you've probably not heard, by a trio grouping of instruments equally unusual (viola, piano, oboe). The players here are clearly very talented, but the music doesn't call for virtuosic turns, rather strong ensemble playing. And that is what is on offer here. The three play as if they were one. That might make it sound like they are playing mechanically, but they are not; it's a very organic, fluid, emotionally satisfying performance, from beginning to end. I listened to this streaming at 24/96 on ClassicsOnline (formerly ClassicsOnline HD*LL until yesterday, as it happens).

Todd (Garfinkle) did a wonderful analog to DSD128 transfer of this awhile back, and the result is great!  You can find it on his website (MA Recordings).  His other DSD recordings are Korg-based and good, too.  And, of course, his redbook and 24/96 world music stuff is some of the best of the genres covered.  Sera Una Noche, etc. 

 

Todd has become a good friend, and is one of the nice ones in the industry.

I'm in conflict on the matter of buying used digital media as the artist(s) are cut of of remuneration after the initial sale of product. My resolution is to not sell my media although I have no further use of it aside from its archival role and the manner in which it 'validates' my digital copy.

However on occasion I do buy used CDs which may seem hypocritical but I can live with that. I spend less than 5% of a generous music/movie budget in this way.

That said I found a few works of note:

 

Ito Ema - Bach's Goldberg Variations (Gold CD)

It's a release I was unfamiliar with but has some critical acclaim...

 

"Japanese pianist Ito Ema's masterful performance on her own magnificent 1903 Steinway D Concert Grand Piano will surely be appreciated by the true music lover. Known as the definitive audiophile version, this recording was realized with 2 separate recording systems: one pair of handmade, titanium capsule DC powered, high output omni-directional microphones for the CD and 2 Bruel and Kjær 4006 microphones."

 

I don't know about "definitive" but the sound is outstanding and a worthy addition to my Goldberg collection.

 

I've had this CD for years and the sound is outstanding. Can't imagine it being better even in high res. Will have to explore.

great pop and a great performance.  very good sound.  makes me smile!

A new arrival in my Bach-library. I like the cello suites, and I like mrs Kashkashian's playing, a winning team, imho.

 

 

 

this is spectacular -- really speaks to me!
