United StatesPure fun, in the Hall of Fame.
I doubt that any musician had a whole lot of fun under Reiner . . . but the CSO sure sounds like they are enjoying themselves here as they strut their stuff. The mind-boggling solo work and spectacular ensemble have always shone through going back to the original LPs. What this transfer, for the first time, captures, is the incredibly nuanced playing of the strings, at impossible speeds, and at ppp and softer, especially when trading riffs with the CSO's jaw dropping wind soloists. OK, so these are only showpieces, but OMG, what a show!!
ItalyAs powerful as Rossini's music itself!
An impressive recording of great music: must have!!
New ZealandRossini Overtures Redux
Great improvement on previous release. Even when I convert the 24/96 file to AIFF and take it into iTunes on the iMac and burn to CD I can hear the difference! My CD player is Njoe. Tjoeb which has a tube output, super accurate clock and upsamples the 16 bit up to 24 bit and takes the filter up to 192 Khz which gets the very best out of what you can get off CD. Agree with the other review and those climaxes are awesome!
SwedenFresh!
This Redux is a huge improvement compared to previous release from 2015. A veil has been removed and the sound is brought forward with more details. The tape print-through so apparent on the William Tell is gone. It is almost as if a better source has been used for the remastering. More enjoyable from start to finish. Great service from HDTT to send a new download link when there are available updates for previously bought items. Many Thanks.
A "Shaded dog" reborn
I must admit, this new release has more dynamics and ductility. But meanwhile, the tape hiss has a little more impact too. All in all, the global experience is greatly enhanced. Absolute fierce and fiery overtures by Reiner. A must have.
