A stunningly good recording and transfer
I completely agree with previous reviewers. Just by it!
Melos Ensemble on Debussy, Roussel and Ropartz chamber works
Once I owned this beautiful record on LP. Although I adored it musically, it was a second-hand purchase and the quality of LP was so bad that I stopped to listen to it for a while. Now, as it appeared again in spotless condition, I jumped on it, downloaded and it sounds better than I assume even the untouched LP. All works on it are presented musically marvelously perfect in style showing that French chamber music is even better performed and understood by the British. Thank you HDTT

Excellent remastering of a great recording!
Lovely detail and dynamics, as well as tone. Unable to compare to the LP as I never owned it, but love it!
Stress Free Zone
French chamber music that brings melody and refreshing beauty that just clears the air. Transparent, lovely sonic restoration.
