Who offers that hi-res download. Thanks!

ProStudioMasters has it on sale for $14.95--quite a bargain!

Volodos plays Brahms. Streaming from Qobuz.

 

How is it? This and his previous Mompou release seem to suggest he's trying to downplay his reputation as a fire-breathing virtuoso!

Some distinctly non-audience friendly (and non-guitarist--I've tried playing a few of these!) pieces, but they are very well played and recorded, if a bit distant in sonic perspective.

Very few of these pieces have been attempted on the guitar before this ground-breaking release in 1993. Very good playing and sound.

Robin de Raaff is a new name to me. His style is hard to pin down--some parts remind me more recent Penderecki, others a bit of Schoenberg, still others very fragmented and pointillistic. The sound varies a bit among the pieces, but it is never less than very good. Pieces include his Cello Concerto, the title track, and Symphony No.3.

This SACD includes Henze's complete "Royal Winter Music" plus Britten's "Nocturnal." Wonderful playing and recording.

Have been meaning to get this one for a while. Thanks for reminding. What format do you have?

 

 

As shown: SACD. It's available in hi-res up to D256, but that gets a little pricey.
