View Original This article of Recent Finds contains a truly disparate array of albums, but all of which I’ve enjoyed immensely. They are all beautifully recorded, supremely well performed, with interesting music that should be heard. I hope you will find something here that tickles your fancy. Mine has been tickled nearly to death listening […]
View Original Article It is celebration time, folks. Jared Sacks has launched a new label, Pelle D’oca (“Goosebumps” in Italian), with a stunning new recording of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. And the cherry on the top is that this release is in PURE DSD256! Recorded and mixed entirely in the DSD* domain, with no PCM, with no trip out […]
Dear Friends, It is a rare treat when a music writer and critic twists a producer’s arm to re-release an early album in a record label’s catalog. David Fung’s Evening Conversations put Yarlung Records on the audiophile map, and it was last released in 2012. Rush Paul, dear to all of us at NativeDSD, was […]
Go To Original I listen to a lot of high resolution DXD and DSD256 file downloads. And, as you can imagine, I have my favorites—my “top of the pile” recordings for sound quality (to borrow a description from my vinyl years). I thought I’d assemble some of these personal favorites into a list for anyone […]
I was re-watching “About Time,” one of my favorite little British films, a few days ago, and was charmed all over again by the way it made me laugh, as well as the way it made me think about family and love. It’s one of those rare films that blends humor, heartache, and a touch of […]
View Original Review Peter Bjørnild and Frans de Rond at Sound Liaison have just released a stunning new Pure DSD256 album.

Frans says of DSD, “Its incredible […]
How would you describe your orientation as a composer in the spectrum of music from traditional hindustani or carnatic music to western classical music to more popular contemporary music? As a composer, I look for different ways to carry my tradition into new genres. That means that a lot of things can be relevant. Many […]
This year we presented DSD music at the London Audio Show 2024. We had the pleasure of presenting our music through Tannoy speakers, and the equally great pleasure of meeting Daniel Raggett of Symphony Distribution who supplied and set up the speakers in our room. I was so pleased by the sound of the Tannoys […]

View Original A new album from Rachel Podger and Brecon Baroque, recorded by Jared Sacks, is always reason to celebrate! Add to that some delightful discoveries from Alpha Classics, Yarlung Records (in Pure DSD256), two albums from IBS, and an intriguing peak at what may come from the “new” Channel Classics under Outhere Music’s direction, […]
This is an excellent example of why I do these “discoveries.” This set has been around for a while, but it sounds as fresh as anything released last week! Pianist Martin Helmchen, and Mark Albrecht conducting the Orchestre Philharmique de Strasbourg, have captured my heart in these two works. The Piano Concerto in A […]

Their albums keep showing up for three […]
