Warm and engaging
An enthralling recording - difficult to believe that it dates from the late 1950s with such excellent resolution, sonority and depth. Now that it has been so clearly and flawlessly transcribed to 128DSD, this closely conducted and warmly performing orchestra with such a lovely soaring soprano and chorus are now revealed at their full mastery. Though the soundstage width is a fraction restricted, it certainly sounds very much like a live performance in a classic concert hall. Yes, the last song from Grieg merges with the Borodin in track 10 3:50, but they do actually complement each other.

Wait for the redux
Good transfer but the Borodin is on the same track as the end of the Grieg which is mis-labelled The disk will be re-released when this has been corrected.
