Knaggs: Two Streams - Simpson | Marcus DiBenedetto - November 29, 2023
Divine Mercy is the theme of this Cantata. Youthful composer Daniel Knaggs (b. 1983) wrote the music based partly on the spiritually inspired writings of Maria Faustina ...
Dr. John: In the Right Place | Downunderman - Yesterday 01:03 am
I was very happy to see that this title had made it into the Atlantic 75th anniversary series. It made me think about my university days in the mid 70's and one of the share ...
Mahler: Symphonies 1-9 - Maazel | Longjohns and Wifebeaters - Yesterday 11:39 am
I guess also whether it would even be financially viable, first as a development and then a production project. Look at us here, a niche in a niche in a diminutive market ...
Mahler: Symphonies 1-9 - Maazel | Contrapunctus - November 24, 2023
I have to correct my previous comment a little, I was probably a little too hasty. Also, I had only compared a single track. Now a few days have passed and I've listened to a ...

Mahler: Symphonies 1-9 - Maazel | Athenaeus - November 29, 2023
Interesting comment, Hiredfox. That had crossed my mind, too. I'm sure AI will be capable of remastering in the near future, be it old analogue recordings or early-digital PCM ...
Porra: Entropia - Kuusisto | Robert Fernandes - November 18, 2023
I was fortunate to hear/see Lauri Porra perform Entropia with the Seattle Symphony earlier this week, with his wife conducting no less! I bought, and listened to this entire ...
Ravel: Daphnis et Chloé - Wilson | hiredfox - November 17, 2023
It's still only a 96kHz recording and whilst Chandos are always bright and cheerful they are certainly not brilliant recordings for my stereo system. What lets them down is ...

Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering.
About the source material, Intervention Recorcords states on their website to have...
" [...] worked for months with Universal’s archive team, scouring the vaults in the US and UK for the best-sounding tapes . Several sets of tapes, including 1970s-era tape copies, were sent to mastering and evaluated by IR’s Shane Buettner and Chris Bellman.
The best-sounding tapes are 1/2″ safety copies from the 1990s A&M Safety Program. The “Wind of Change” and “Frampton” safeties are sourced from UK Production Masters, while the “Frampton’s Camel” safety is sourced from the Original Stereo Master. These tapes sound sensational, vibrant, detailed and alive."
And it shows. What a sound! Very balanced with warmth, and the famous vocoder effect which became the signature of the even more famous "Show me the way" really jumps out of the speakers.
This is so good that I am reconsidering buying this album only, to buy the two other Frampton remasters, although I do not know those albums.
IR never disappointed me anyway. I now know I can buy from them with closed eyes... and ears wide opened.
