Hi Robert and a belated happy New Year. What is the story behind the new release, the Image of melancholy? Why is it a Dsd Recording according to eclassical, and PCM according to sacd.net? Just interested, I am not a Dsd fetishist. :-)

I also noticed this and contacted Robert, and he confirmed this is a 24/192 PCM recording, not DSD nor 24/96 (as listed on this site).

Robert,
I have had this disc for a week now and it is magnificent. Apart from the performance (Lindberg has never sounded better), the lute (in this case an original 1590 or so instrument) really benefits from the "SACD treatment". The effect is so striking I think every lute recording should be issued as an SACD - though, of course, the skill of the engineer is a major factor too. Congratulations to your team and you for this excellent recording.

Oops, I forgot to paste in the disc details!
It is indeed Jacobean Lute Music - BIS-2055-SACD
Great cover photo too.

I just listened to this last night.
It is a wonderful recording of varied lute pieces, which Mr. Lindberg plays beautifully as well. I have his recordings on BIS vinyl and I think his playing is just as good if not better on this release.

I concur--the sound is fantastic. To my ears, it's the perfect blend of detail and spaciousness. Jackob's playing is great, too. Perhaps a few 32nd note runs here and there lack the last bit of articulation, but that is hard to achieve without nails!

As David said: The information on eclassical.com seems to be corrected. Now it is clear.

Dear Robert,
I noticed that qobuz.com and linnrecords.com started to sell Studio Masters from Masaaki Suzukis BIS Cantata series. Especially some early Volumes, that have previously been published as redbook CDs, are now available with a samplerate of 96kHz!!! Does that mean, that you've started to remaster the early volumes for SACD reissues? (i.e. Remastering of the 44kHz Recordings to 96kHz?)
yours, Thomian

In another forum I read, that this "upsampling" of original 44.1kHz recordings affects a lot of more BIS Records, and it seems to be an error by Naxos or Qobuz.

any news on this?
