Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon | [Current93] - April 15, 2023

This one is the Analogue Productions DSOTM 2019 SACD in disguise (mini LP package with original 1973 obi for quad edition).

Beethoven: Piano Concertos 1-5 - Ohlsson, Runnicles | Adrian Quanjer - May 18, 2023

Indeed, John, no Soundmirror. Original Recording Format: PCM 192 kHz. Hence half a star missing. As I suggested, this release is not meant to supersede your best choice.

Beethoven: Piano Concertos 1-5 - Ohlsson, Runnicles | Steven Harrison - May 20, 2023

I have attended many a concert at the Grand Teton Music Festival, when I used to live and work in Wyoming. Every concert was wonderful. Walk festival hall has a lot going for ...

Rachmaninov: 4 Piano Concertos, Paganini Rhapsody - Ashkenazy, Previn | DYB - Yesterday 02:53 pm

Contrapunctus, I agree. For me the Decca Japan issue is really spectacular. Esoteric's choices continue to confound me. So many of their recent issues have been released very ...

Williams: Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind - Gerhardt | Gurkensalat - May 16, 2023

Jethro Tull: Aqualung | Downunderman - April 27, 2023

Not at all like the Stand-Up master tape - This one is really rather good. The master tape used (IA's 'shed' master?) here is in very good shape. There are no obvious signs ...

DOS: In Sight | Rafael Méndez - April 12, 2023

It is an extraordinary sounding album (in fact one of my favorite demo albums). The bass sound is absolutely natural, the atmosphere intimate, and Bianchini's voice wonderful. ...

Rachmaninov: 4 Piano Concertos, Paganini Rhapsody - Ashkenazy, Previn | Contrapunctus - Yesterday 08:27 am

Esoteric is going to release these recordings on June 17th. Given the already brilliant transfers out there, I'm definitely not interested.
