Were you able to compare this to the low budget redbook release on CD? I really like Kubelik for Mahler but hesitate if I need to buy this again.

 

I haven't compared it to the redbook version, but my expectation would be to hear no difference if the CD comes from the same master (which I think is the case for the recent budget release, judging by the label). This is a good-quality remastering of a well recorded album (especially by DG standards) but not an especially audiophile recording. My advice would be not to buy it again at the normal price, but since you are subscribed to Qobuz Sublime, this might change the calculation a bit.

Thanks this is helpful.

Just downloaded from bandcamp. Good diversity of style going on here. While no real star power, the musicians are playing really well together. I always find groups led by drummers to have a bit different flavor to them. I dig it.

I did not know until now, but Pentatone offers this as a DSD ISO for download. After purchasing, I used ImgBurn to burn the ISO to disc and my Oppo recognized it with no issue and began playback in DSD.

 

This hits all the high marks for me in terms of performance and sound quality. The surround track is immersive without being "gimmicky", and the quality begs for the volume to be turned up- no etched or strident sounding strings to be found!

 

I can't recommend this enough from my (novice) point of view.

Nice blast from the past...

 

Taylor's Tell It to My Heart was a staple along with Girls Just Want to Have Fun for my sister. Must have worn down the tapes several times over.

I couldn't agree more!!

 

FWIW, I would love to see this thread broken out into multiple ones such as:

- Classical

- Rock, Folk, Blues, Jazz

- Pop, Rap, Hip-Hop

- Country, Western

 

It sure would make things easier to find!

 

Just my 2 cents!

Haydn: Cello Concertos and "Kindersymphonie." Enrico Dindo with I Solisti Di Pavia.

 

Nicely articulated performances. The sound, from a 24/96 Qobuz download, is pungent but not harsh.

For my system details, please see my profile. Thank you.

I have to say I disagree. While I appreciate your sentiment, I like that this thread exposes me to music I wouldn't necessarily seek out on my own. I have probably found more new albums here than anywhere else on the internet, and I think we have some great folks with lots of musical knowledge weighing in here, all in one thread.

+1 David!

Thanks to C.A., I am now enjoying music that I wouldn't have been exposed otherwise.

Thank you all.

Here is one that I am enjoying right now.

A different kind of classical (Indian) and a fusion of Americana, blues, and some jazz.

 

Ry is always on song... this is something different, but equally good.
