Thank you, @Musicophile for reminding us often how wonderful Isabelle Faust is.

Another delightful violinist of these days.

ECM really showcases how good redbook can sound. Enjoying this on my HD800.

As long as I remember ECM recordings, starting from seventies on LPs, the magnificent SQ was a distinctive feature. Now not only old, but also many new ECM albums in red book quality very often sound better than in high-rez, at least to my ears - more natural, less "processed".

It is an excellent version. Not the only one obviously but one that I regularly return to.

It has also received numerous glowing reviews.

Why no, Chris, but I am honored you are thinking about me when listening, so I will hop on it.  I am sadly behind in listening to the solo Radiohead stuff, even Thom's music sometimes.  I hate that I do not have my audiophile system re-setup yet, but I hate more that I use this excuse to get lazy about new music....I mean, I do have Spotify, Google Play, Apple Music etc etc and need to listen as a music lover more than an audiophile

I know how you could rectify that problem Ted!

I really enjoyed this recording of QoBuz, he does some things here I have not heard on recordings before (or in person for that matter). I have a lot of his solo and trio work, but certainly not a complete collection. I wish it was more reasonably priced.

Out of curiosity - as for today do you know a recording of Rachmaninov 3rd that could compete with this one?

 Have been binge listening to the George Shearing Mel Torme releases from Concord that I have ripped to my hard drive. The only one I am missing is their last, the Songs of WWII. They all sound fantastic. Just finished Top Drawer, with Donny Thompson on bass. Nice!

Fabulous performance of Rach 3, second to none! One of few CDs I still have at home even I do not have CD player for years now.
