Handel, Croft - The Netherlands Bach Society          (5 of 5 found this review helpful)
  February 4, 2013

A couple of weeks ago I happened upon an online article that spoke to the approaching celebrations being planned for Utrecht, Holland to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Treaty of Utrecht that was signed in 1713. The Treaty brought to a formal conclusion nearly 200 hundred years of almost ... more
Tchaikovsky: Manfred Symphony - Kitajenko        (16 of 16 found this review helpful)
  August 2, 2012

I have listened to the Kitajenko conducted Tschaikowsky Manfred Symphony numerous times over the past two years. My opinions have evolved but not by that much. Out of the gate I found this recording to have far and away superior sound than other Manfred's I own but thought that the performance came ... more
Hank Jones, The Great Jazz Trio: Last Recording          (4 of 4 found this review helpful)
  November 4, 2011

With the dearth of jazz, especially recent releases, available to SACD it's no wonder that many jazz lovers are excited over the much welcome analog tape sources to DSD transfers, most notably from SHM and Analog Productions. And while the excitement surrounding these releases is well deserved (I ... more
Dvorak, Szymanowski: Violin Concertos - Steinbacher, Janowski          (13 of 13 found this review helpful)
  May 7, 2011

My detailed comments on the wonderful Pentatone Dvorak, Szymanowski: Violin Concertos are long overdue. I have had this SACD for a good year and a half and actually offered brief comments at Hi-Rez forum in November 2009. On more than one occasion I was going to share more detailed thoughts about it ... more
  July 22, 2010

I had intended to play my newly received Bach 6 Suites for Cello SACD played by Hidemi Suzuki. But today two of my sons and their friends were in and out of the house (summer jobs are scarce these days), disturbing the peace. So classical music was not an option. So, I did an eeny meeny miny mo and ... more

It looks like the strike has been settled. I did attend a couple of performances by striking musicians. The orchestra may be performing as early as this week subject to approval of the tenative agreement. Robert C. Lang ... more
Jared Sacks' visit to the San Francisco Bay Area
March 7, 2013
And a real plus of downloads is being to almost instantly locate the loudest passages (to optimize volume setting) on the time line. Also, the prospect of having access to DSD "raw files" is most unique and could be worth the price of admission. Although, two-channel downloads, no matter what the resolution, is unimportant to me. ... more

How do you search out old forum posts? I am fairly certain I have done this before, but I seem to have lost the skill. Robert C. Lang ... more
Sony BDP S790 and SACD sound quality
December 27, 2012
There is currently a discussion at Hi-Rez about this player. The OP compares the analog outs vs. the HDMI and seems to think both outs are the cats meow. http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/hirez/messages/27/279735.html Robert C. Lang ... more
