Oh, that was already in my Pono cart from yesterday!!!
At least I think it is. The last track is 10 minutes shorter! https://www.ponomusic.com/ccrz__CCP...f:c056736c3a194c7fa5d4ea34554020ab&type=Album
And Ponomusic has zero metdata to see anything other than track list. Boo
Nice. Never used pono before. I presume it is full resolution?
Yes, lossless 44.1/16.Nice. Never used pono before. I presume it is full resolution?
I noticed that but could not find any provenance on the XRCD. Did they master at higher resolution?Amirm,
If you want good and cheap you have to buy twice
The release from Pono is not JVC xrcd, sorry.
I bought mine with elusivedisc.com, pls check there, at amazon it is out of stock.
Thanks. Found another review that said it was nice. So I bought a used one through Amazon in good shape for $25 or so. May still buy the download to compare.You can find more info about xrcd mastering, it is probably 24 bit mastering at JVC studio but it is mentionned on the disc that Alan Yoshida mastered the tape at Californian studio.

Sorry, not availableeit
You are right, sorry Amir. Let' s wait until he digests all this music, it is probably too much at once.You guys are hopeless. Can we have a report on how Amirm actually likes the MUSIC rather than if he managed to track down a 16 bit or 24 bit version
It is fine guys . It has been like taking a drink from firehose . But I like to have more info than not. I am going to go to my listening room and sample more of what I have bought. So far the favorites are Bach and Pärt. Will report back on what else rises to the top.You are right, sorry Amir. Let' s wait until he digests all this music, it is probably too much at once.

The 2L website has long offered free downloads in the "test bench" section, ranging from 24/96 stereo to DXD and also in DSD. There are some choices also offered in multichannel.

If you like Part, I am 99% sure you will love this track from the Trondheim Solistene album "Divertimenti" on 2L Nordic Sound. "Carmina" by Bjorklund.
It is the most profoundly melancholic Nordic music known to man. You can buy the track separately in high rez on the 2L website. Recording quality is absolutely top notch to boot.
You can hear a sample here.

Others may want to check it out as well.
And you are 100% right! I have bought a reference recording album from l2 with a mozart performance by Trondheim Solistene. Will purchase the album you mention for sure.
Stravinsky: Petroushka/Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances - Jansons, Concertgebouw
2 orchestral masterpieces from the first part of the 20th Century on the excellent RCO Live label.
Shostakovich: Symphony No. 15 - Haitink, Concertgebouw
Last half of 20th Century, and one of my favorites by this great composer. A recording and equipment reviewer friend agrees this is exemplary orchestral sound. He took it to RMAF for equipment listening. RCO Live.
