Grieg: Piano Concerto, Symphony, In Autumn - Ruud          (7 of 10 found this review helpful)
  December 22, 2011

This 5.0 multi-channel hybrid SACD contains absolutely THE best performance and recording of Grieg's Piano Concerto I've ever heard and I have heard many! This was recorded in DSD with the help of the Sony DSD team way back in 2002 and edited on a Sonoma DSD workstation, so it is pure DSD. It also ... more

  December 22, 2010

Martin Gester's recording of Handel's Op. 6 set struck me with its shear beauty of both the performance and recording. I listened to it in 5.0 multi-channel SACD sound. The instruments envelop you with gorgeous detailed sound from the front speakers and beautiful reverberation from all around. It ... more
