A sonic upgrade for this utter jewel. This was 1958, so, five stars.

Beautiful and rich with lush sound. Sometimes the oldies are the goodies and this was worth every penny.

Could not ask for a better performance, and the Mercury recording was by Bob Fine and Wilma Cozart Fine, his wife of equal fame. To my ears the sound was just "Fine," if you'll forgive the pun. No flaws in the transfer or anywhere else. That included some listening with Etymotic ER-4 headphones, generally regarded as being among the most accurate in existence. Gets my fifth star. The interpretation is relaxed and gentle, like the music itself. The playing is just about letter perfect. And again, I find nothing to object to in the sound, which is yet another example of the terrific DXD remastering work done by HDTT.

The music and music-making is lovely, of course, but I could only recommend this transfer if you don't have access to the Soundmirror SACD. This sounds a bit thicker and more congested, as if the tape used is a generation or two removed.
