I opted for the DSD download rather than the LPs, but their image shows the tracks. Anyway, this is beautifully played and recorded. In fact, it's one of the most realistic and transparent recordings I've heard. (Since they used Sennheiser HD800s headphones during the recordings, I used the same for listening!) It's live, but there is very little noise except for applause between works. Highly recommended.

Well, now, Bart, I don't know. Since I've been listening to TIDAL, my classical repertoire has expanded tremendously. Right now, I'm in TIDAL's Classical Genus and I'm listening to a new classical album . . . "WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES" - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. Next, also from the Classical Genus, I'm excited that "Josh Grobin - Bridges" is classified as Classical, as is Celebration by Katherine Jenkins And, of course all of the stuff played by Vangelis, Il Divo, Il Volo, and Rick Wakeman - The upcoming major classical groups. Golly, I can listen to the Classical Genus on TIDAL and, maybe someday, I'll become a high-brow classical GENUS classical GENIUS like Bart (and Tony, and Kal, and all you other guys.) . . . Golly, I'm really becoming cultured - thanks to TIDAL - and all you fellas on Audio Aficionado. - and Katherine Jenkins does look good!!! So, back to my point . . . Who's to say that Deep Purple isn't really CLASSICAL. Maybe someday, it'll make TIDAL's Classical Genus too.

That's why I generally stream from my own collection: I control the metadata.

^^ By the way, Deep Purple's guitarist Ritchie Blackmore plays the cello and now fronts a primarily acoustic renaissance folk/rock band called Blackmore's Night. He plays an assortment of string instruments. On occasion he brings out the Strat, though! Even back in Deep Purple's heyday he preferred classical music, especially Renaissance and Baroque.
Anyway, I downloaded this recording today (24 bit/96k). Every bit as good as Book I from him. He uses a wide array of articulation, pedaling, and dynamics to bring the music to life. Great sound, too. |

Good one. I've been missing Julian's pithy "observations". |
