Dear Publisher!

Our new section - "Vinyl & Hi-Res" is the special place for publishing the rips of musical albums taken from a non-standard sources as:

• Vinyl LPs ripped with serious technical equipment
  
• Multichannel music copied from a DVD-Audio sources
  
• SACD-layer extracted via analogue output
  
• High resolution studio masters, available directly from label (include "Digital download" higher than 16 bit)
  
• Any tapes presented in higher than 24 bit/48 kHz, etc...

Just because you've ripped an old vinyl LP in the digital format does not make it a specific audiophile product. Same as the original vinyl album ripped to MP3 files does not fit here. The posting of music grabbed from the usual (Red Book) Compact Discs is strongly forbidden in this section.

... Bruce, truth be told, is not the greatest singer in the world, and his hoarseness does very occasionally get gobbled up in the mass of sound the band is putting out, but that's about the only complaint I have with this concert. Otherwise we get a remarkably clean and clear reproduction of the music with no obtrusive audience noise. Separation is excellent, but it's the remarkable fidelity that will impress most right off the bat. Turn this one up to 12--11 won't be quite enough.

...But even compared with the LSO's fervent performances of the Sibelius symphonies with Davis in the '90s cannot compare with the fire of these 2003 recordings of the Third and Seventh. With the LSO's passionate virtuosity behind him, Davis creates nuanced but powerful performances, performances that are detailed yet sweeping, lyric yet epic, but, above all, loving. Davis and the LSO's Third is light but shot with shadows, poised but relentless, mysterious but triumphant. The Seventh is the sun cresting the snow-capped mountains, the wind rushing down from the peaks, their song soaring in the high, sharp air. Even though Davis does hum, anyone who loves Sibelius will have to hear these performances.

This first, declines all the multi-faceted of human sensitivity. "Fools Mate" is more poppy & melodic...

This nomadic anthology captures the pathos of the human condition with originality and verve. Multichannel SACD is an ideal medium for this music. The understated nuances of the various stringed instruments are reproduced with clear acoustics, whether it’s a prominent rhythm guitar, or delicate lute. Tonal quality of the voices is flawless. The depth and texture of the vocals (in particular the ensembles) refine the musical eminence.

Mari Kodama, born in Osaka, Japan, studied at the Paris Conservatory with Germaine Mounier and subsequently with Tatiana Nikolaeva and Alfred Brendel. She has performed the complete Beethoven sonatas in Los Angeles and has also appeared in recital and with orchestras in major cities in Europe and Japan. With an air of authority yet delicate in touch, Kodama plays with passion and fire... The sound is absolutely to die for.
