SQ could be slightly better though. Has someone compared this version with Isserlis/LSO ?

Or with France Springuel/ I Fiamminghi version issued by Telarc?

Using this gem to burn in my new Beyerdynamic T90 with the equally new Audioquest Dragonfly Red (see also here: https://www.computeraudiophile.com/forums/topic/35015-why-not-to-visit-a-hifi-store-or-how-i-ended-up-buying-another-pair-of-headphone/)

Small Town - Bill Frisell & Thomas Morgan

@duxservit IMO one of the most underrated jazzmen in history. A great album.

Boccherini String Trios, Op. 34....a purchase from prostudiomasters.com.   Love the sound.

 

Excellent!  Thanks for the recommendation.

[sphinxsix]

IMO the most promising female vocal jazz debut album of 2017. Very nicely recorded too (24-96).

Check this out, guys.

That reminds me of my favorite Jazz singer these days (she has a new album coming soon):

 

 

streaming in 24/96 from Qobuz to my new Dragonfly Red / Beyerdynamic T99 combo which keeps getting better every day.

Only audio portion of the concert, excellent quality.

 

A must for fans of Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson, another side project of Wilson to check out is Blackfield.

Divine Theatre: Sacred Motets by Giaches de Wert

Stile Antico

interview: http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/interview/1691/Giaches-de-Wert-from-Stile-Antico

 

Another Gramophone Early Music nominee. This one has grown on me.

 

Quote

Giaches de Wert is best known for his madrigals - the perfect bridge between the polyphony of the high Renaissance and the new style of Monteverdi. Stile Antico's new album introduces us to another side of this composer who, though Flemish-born, spent most of his life in Italy, primarily in Mantua. The unique and dramatic style of these remarkable motets cannot fail to ravish explorers of this 'divine theatre'.

Great album!  Although I love xylophone I did not know the existence of this extraordinary player.

 

Thanks @duxservit,

Try some of Bobby Hutcherson's albums with Harold Land, like "San Francisco", for a real treat. His passing, a year ago, was a true loss to jazz.

His very early albums, such as 'Dialogue' with Andrew Hill and Freddy Hubbard, are very good.

Vivaldi: Seven Cello Concertos. Vigorous playing by Guy Fishman and members of the Handel and Haydn Society (string quartet, double bass, theorbo and harpsichord).

 

Fine sound from a 16/44.1 Qobuz download.

One of the very finest axemen in the blues genre, this album released posthumously is a treasure and contains previously unreleased material from the SRV vault. Pretty much a must for any SRV fan, but it goes without saying Stevie Ray Vaughan is highly recommended for anyone into the blues/blues rock genre.

CPE Bach: Organ Sonatas. Nuanced, insightful playing by Herbert Tachezi on the organ of the Pfarrkirche in the Tirol, Austria.

 

Excellent sound from a 16/44.1 Qobuz download.
