Don’t know what Gloucestershire did to merit this epic set of tunes. The nobilimente is strong with this one. http://open.qobuz.com/album/0095115193921 also enjoying vol2. I might get these.

Too close as in a “shut in” sound quality, or as in similar to each other ? As they are British Tone poems, there will be a similarity between discs, not least as most pieces will have been written in a fairly narrow window of time and many have themes at least ostensibly around the British landscape, but as someone whose interest is in British orchestral music, I’d say both are essential discs. SQ is what you’d expect from from recent Chandos HiRes - open dynamic, detailed. Link to comment

Popular Post Teresa Posted June 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2020 One of my favorite samplers.

Afraid I‘m not 100% confident as to what that means and what it would sound like in a large general orchestral recording. Best thing is to listen yourself on a streaming service or to the track excerpts on the Chandos site. I’m enjoying enough to likely buy the downloads. Just noticed, Presto have Chandos 24/96 at MP3 price (£8) until end of July. semente 1 Link to comment

I finished listening to the other four volumes of Stockfisch's Closer to the Music earlier today, most through my floor standing Infinity speakers with the lights out. All the music was great IMHO, however I really love Four Wild Horses by David Munyon from Volume 2, and Factory Girl by Beoga from Volume 3. Then I played The Collection: An Adventure in Sound SACD from Audio Fidelity, lots of great songs, mostly from Columbia and Epic analog masters. Not the high sound quality of the Stockfisch SACDs, but the music is enjoyable nevertheless. Lots of wonderful music today. 😊 sphinxsix, AnotherSpin and pvanosta 3 I have dementia.
