A new release by Jordi Savall on Alia Vox. I’ve only heard symphony 1 so far, and I already love it.

 

 

BTW - Qobuz's price on this album is outstanding, perhaps even an error: $10.99 hi-res, $5.99 hi-res Sublime. The other usual outlets are many times more, as this is a 3-disc set, after all.

This Modi Multibit sounds better than it has any right to.

[AnotherSpin]

Yes, a track from new Keith Jarrett album which will be released this fall.

24/44 from Qobuz. A little known Dvorak work, in a very good performance by Philippe Herreweghe.

Fantastic 1970s Detroit jazz:

Forgive me Father for I have sinned..

 

I haven't listened to AC/DC for more than three years (I only played it probably twice as a background music during my workouts). To make things even worse I spend the last couple of days listening mostly to pre-Bach German Baroque music. In huge quantities actually. I must confess I've almost forgotten how much fun good, ol' AC/DC music is..

I've just finished listening to this mini-album in its entirety and I'm asking You humbly -

please have mercy and save my rock'n'roll soul, hereby I vow to never renounce it

Since my rock'n'roll soul is only a part of my music soul  it's Mahler this time. First serious listening which wouldn't take place if it wasn't for @austinpop 's thread 👍 (24-96)

Agreed.  You should also, then, appreciate this:

It was there when I posted it but, somehow, it was deleted.  This:

I OTOH started with the 5th and just finished listening to it. IMO - a very interesting performance! Could it be that what's between the two is also good.? 

BTW my infallible IEMs suggest (listening to mp3 stream) that SQ may be breathtaking..

Next - a quick comparison of the old 3rd and the new one. We have Beethoven year after all 

 

 

Edit: seems that I may like the new one even more, but this was just a quick listen to a couple of fragments. It also seems to be better recorded.

The first time I am hearing Nicola Benedetti. I am very impressed, the timbre in her playing is quite amazing. Ok! I dont know if it timbre, perhaps vibrato, but the emotion in salut d'amour is very touching....

Haven’t got there yet, was wondering if 3 was new or the previously  released recording?  The latter certainly had spectacular SQ.

It's a new one. My judgement was based on the quality of my streaming source though. It's not that I think that the older one sounded bad but it seemed to me that e.g. the venue acoustics may be even more spectacular in the case of the new recording, also the timpani sounded less boxy.
