You can start thinking that gravel voice is only for gravel.  Then he unleashes “Old ‘55” or “Hold On,” and suddenly you are in tears....

Extraordinary recording (CD rip)

Thanks for posting, I have this on a wish list. How is the video content on the DVD/Blu-ray discs?

Just switched DACs and got somewhat depressed of the sound, but then I listened at Hans Theessink's Songs from the Southland on Tidal and life suddenly got a whole lot of brighter  What a voice, what a blues person. I am stunned. This is euro-american blues in a nutschell, and a male voice to die for - and a guitarrist to live for  And fuck, what a sound!!!

 

 

Thank you so much for this recommendation.  If I were to listen to this album blind, I would never guess that the singer/performer is Dutch.  Although covers, the musicianship and the vocals compete with the all-time best blues artists.  And the recording, as you aptly point out, just sounds amazing.  "And fuck, what a sound!!!"

My first DXD album purchase! And I love the fact that Native DSD is comping the DSD versions for us to compare (or vice versa).

 

Certainly the best recorded Mahler 3rd in my library. Absolutely stunnig sonics. Not sure it beats out the MTT, Zander, Chailly, or Salonen, already in my library. Time will tell.

I would like to allow you opportunity to suggest a better "interpreter" of the music, Sergei Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 1 (Сергей Васильевич Рахманинов Симфония №1).   

 

 

Ashkenazy, Previn, Jansons

[sphinxsix]

I'm highly impressed with Marcel Pérès Ensemble Organum.

 

 

[Cornan]

Here is a great album! In fact so good it have earned its place in my extremely limited vinyl collection with the best of the best IMO!

Available in Tidal btw. http://tidal.com/album/74839982

 

Happy listening! ?

He sounds a lot better than present day Dylan....

[Musicophile]

 

Very nice trio jazz.

So a Russian leads off your exemplary list of recommendations meant to instill in me the worth of non-Russian interpreters of this work?  Janson's recordings with the St. Petersburg Phil. book ending this remonstration leads me to assume you are poking fun in some farcical manner.  Tersely.

So You Want to Write a Fugue? - A Celebration of Glenn Gould

 

 

Preludes and Fugues by 11 Canadian composers based on a motive of Glenn Gould's name (G-E-G-D). A very Canadian album for Canada day

I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. To be honest, I forgot that there is actual concert footage, not just the Quartets in Blu-ray audio! 

[Klavier]

Superb in every aspect. (24bit/192k )

Then I'm pleased to have set you on that path. At your leisure, please share your impressions.know wha

[Cornan]

Here is another great album. From Sweden I know! ?

 

"Before the Rumble Comes"

It's still great. Promise! ?

Yes. And inspired by that:

 

Guillaume de Machaut: Messe de Notre Dame

Ensemble Organum, Marcel Pérès

There is a difference between Russian and Soviet. Kitaenko belongs to Soviet performing tradition, which is worthless in Rachmaninov symphonies case, imho. 

[rando]

Thank you for the clarification.  Even if it is one I'm loathe to discuss at length here where it could easily prove disruptive.  

 

Now then, let's see who wants to deconstruct Bruckner & Skrowaczewski - Symphony No. 4 'Romantic'.   

 

 

 

[Klavier]

Transcriptions of lute, keyboard works (WTC, Inventions, French Suite No.2), and Concerto for 2 Violins BWV 1054 (joined by a string quartet). Brilliant playing--pretty good sound.
