Buying an audio tape from 2xHD guarantees that ultimate quality is preserved from the original master in contrast to vinyl albums, CDs or other formats which are all generated from multiple generations of the original eg: tapes have been duplicated (made into 'safety Copies') from the master to be sent to mastering labs around the world from which more generations or conversions of the original are used for manufacturing and reproducing. At 2xHD we always use the original master tape for the transfer to your tape.\r\n\r\nAll transfer pollution which may be caused by cabling, audio consoles, electrical interference, and amplifiers, are eliminated in the 2xHD chain as we dig into the original recording, using more sophisticated power supplies, cables, etc. These procedures help lower tape noise at the lowest spectrum and bring out the second harmonics warmth associated with analog recordings, creating a fresh, new, yet authentic version of the original recording. We call the procedure 'back to the future technology'. So, it's fair to say that you own a recording that is superior to the original released product.\r\n\r\nThe transfer is made to the best magnetic tape on the market today, the SM468 Studio Master tape which has all the features of a master tape but is also designed for long storage. The formula was created by AGFA around 1973. This tape has the best Print-through protection and longest storage life. Tapes of this formula have been stored for more than 40 years — and display no deterioration of the coating or sound quality. It is often chosen by professionals who specialize in classical, instrumental or voice recordings due to the \"transparent\" sound of its formula. Many sound engineers using Nagra recorders use the SM468 as their go-to tape since the past 45 years.\r\n\u003ch2 class=\"tape-title1\"\u003eFusion Pure Analog Tape by 2xHD\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"pt-2\"\u003eAudio tapes from 2xHD guarantees that ultimate quality is preserved from the original master in contrast to vinyl albums, or CDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\nFor the recording on this tape, the original 1\/4\" 15 ips NAB or CCIR master tapes were played on a Nagra-T tape recorder, modified with high-end tube playback electronics, wired with OCC silver cables from the playback head direct to a Nick Doshi tube head preamplifier. The Nagra-T, with its four direct drive motors, two pinch rollers and a tape tension head, is one of the best transports ever made.

Buying an audio tape from 2xHD guarantees that ultimate quality is preserved from the original master in contrast to vinyl albums, CDs or other formats which are all generated from multiple generations of the original eg: tapes have been duplicated (made into 'safety Copies') from the master to be sent to mastering labs around the world from which more generations or conversions of the original are used for manufacturing and reproducing. At 2xHD we always use the original master tape for the transfer to your tape.\r\n\r\nAll transfer pollution which may be caused by cabling, audio consoles, electrical interference, and amplifiers, are eliminated in the 2xHD chain as we dig into the original recording, using more sophisticated power supplies, cables, etc. These procedures help lower tape noise at the lowest spectrum and bring out the second harmonics warmth associated with analog recordings, creating a fresh, new, yet authentic version of the original recording. We call the procedure 'back to the future technology'. So, it's fair to say that you own a recording that is superior to the original released product.\r\n\r\nThe transfer is made to the best magnetic tape on the market today, the SM468 Studio Master tape which has all the features of a master tape but is also designed for long storage. The formula was created by AGFA around 1973. This tape has the best Print-through protection and longest storage life. Tapes of this formula have been stored for more than 40 years — and display no deterioration of the coating or sound quality. It is often chosen by professionals who specialize in classical, instrumental or voice recordings due to the \"transparent\" sound of its formula. Many sound engineers using Nagra recorders use the SM468 as their go-to tape since the past 45 years.\r\n\u003ch2 class=\"tape-title1\"\u003eFusion Pure Analog Tape by 2xHD\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"pt-2\"\u003eAudio tapes from 2xHD guarantees that ultimate quality is preserved from the original master in contrast to vinyl albums, or CDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\nFor the recording on this tape, the original 1\/4\" 15 ips NAB or CCIR master tapes were played on a Nagra-T tape recorder, modified with high-end tube playback electronics, wired with OCC silver cables from the playback head direct to a Nick Doshi tube head preamplifier.

Buying an audio tape from 2xHD guarantees that ultimate quality is preserved from the original master in contrast to vinyl albums, CDs or other formats which are all generated from multiple generations of the original eg: tapes have been duplicated (made into 'safety Copies') from the master to be sent to mastering labs around the world from which more generations or conversions of the original are used for manufacturing and reproducing. At 2xHD we always use the original master tape for the transfer to your tape.\r\n\r\nAll transfer pollution which may be caused by cabling, audio consoles, electrical interference, and amplifiers, are eliminated in the 2xHD chain as we dig into the original recording, using more sophisticated power supplies, cables, etc. These procedures help lower tape noise at the lowest spectrum and bring out the second harmonics warmth associated with analog recordings, creating a fresh, new, yet authentic version of the original recording. We call the procedure 'back to the future technology'. So, it's fair to say that you own a recording that is superior to the original released product.\r\n\r\nThe transfer is made to the best magnetic tape on the market today, the SM468 Studio Master tape which has all the features of a master tape but is also designed for long storage. The formula was created by AGFA around 1973. This tape has the best Print-through protection and longest storage life. Tapes of this formula have been stored for more than 40 years — and display no deterioration of the coating or sound quality. It is often chosen by professionals who specialize in classical, instrumental or voice recordings due to the \"transparent\" sound of its formula. Many sound engineers using Nagra recorders use the SM468 as their go-to tape since the past 45 years.\r\n\u003ch2 class=\"tape-title1\"\u003eFusion Pure Analog Tape by 2xHD\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"pt-2\"\u003eAudio tapes from 2xHD guarantees that ultimate quality is preserved from the original master in contrast to vinyl albums, or CDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\nFor the recording on this tape, the original 1\/2\" 15 ips NAB or CCIR master tapes were played on a Nagra-T tape recorder, modified with high-end tube playback electronics, wired with OCC silver cables from the playback head direct to a Nick Doshi tube head preamplifier.

Buying an audio tape from 2xHD guarantees that ultimate quality is preserved from the original master in contrast to vinyl albums, CDs or other formats which are all generated from multiple generations of the original eg: tapes have been duplicated (made into 'safety Copies') from the master to be sent to mastering labs around the world from which more generations or conversions of the original are used for manufacturing and reproducing. At 2xHD we always use the original master tape for the transfer to your tape.\r\n\r\nAll transfer pollution which may be caused by cabling, audio consoles, electrical interference, and amplifiers, are eliminated in the 2xHD chain as we dig into the original recording, using more sophisticated power supplies, cables, etc. These procedures help lower tape noise at the lowest spectrum and bring out the second harmonics warmth associated with analog recordings, creating a fresh, new, yet authentic version of the original recording. We call the procedure 'back to the future technology'. So, it's fair to say that you own a recording that is superior to the original released product.\r\n\r\nThe transfer is made to the best magnetic tape on the market today, the SM468 Studio Master tape which has all the features of a master tape but is also designed for long storage. The formula was created by AGFA around 1973. This tape has the best Print-through protection and longest storage life. Tapes of this formula have been stored for more than 40 years — and display no deterioration of the coating or sound quality. It is often chosen by professionals who specialize in classical, instrumental or voice recordings due to the \"transparent\" sound of its formula. Many sound engineers using Nagra recorders use the SM468 as their go-to tape since the past 45 years.\r\n\u003ch2 class=\"tape-title1\"\u003eFusion Pure Analog Tape by 2xHD\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"pt-2\"\u003eAudio tapes from 2xHD guarantees that ultimate quality is preserved from the original master in contrast to vinyl albums, or CDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\nFor the recording on this tape, the original 1\/4\" 15 ips NAB or CCIR master tapes were played on a Nagra-T tape recorder, modified with high-end tube playback electronics, wired with OCC silver cables from the playback head direct to a Nick Doshi tube head preamplifier.

It is as if I go for a walk through a deep forest: one part of me wants to get lost in unknown territory, while another part of me lingers on the familiar. By trying to make meaning of the world around me, I search for compositions that reflect something eternal, irresistible to change and corruption.\r\n\r\nReid means this journey, the feeling that one world dies somewhere, and a new one emerges with every blink of my eyes. Through this album, I want to take you along on this journey through the worlds of contemporary composers Michael Gordon, Fjóla Evans, Giovanni Sollima, John Tavener, and David Lang.\r\n\r\nOur travels start with Light Is Calling by Michael Gordon, written in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Living so close to Ground Zero, he wanted to make something beautiful after witnessing something so ugly and tragic. The composition juxtaposes the sound of an acoustic cello with electronic pulses played backward, like a heart beating throughout the entire piece.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaya Fridman - Cello \u0026amp; Vocals\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eFieke van den Hurk - Harmonium \u0026amp; Tape Track for \"Reid - Hagall - Bjarkan\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCello Ensemble on \"Wake Up and Die\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\nKate Moore\r\nEmma Kroon\r\nMaximiliano Segura Sánchez\r\nAlena Kliuchka\r\nGiorgos Kotsiolis\r\nEvelien Fokker\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lXH8C8Cu6CQ","brand":"TRPTK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56742870483268,"sku":"TTK0046-Vinyl","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/01-TTK0046-2.jpg?v=1789324938"},{"product_id":"sacd196-vinyl-omaggio-a-heifetz-homage-to-jascha-heifetz-180g-vinyl","title":"Omaggio a Heifetz (Homage to Jascha Heifetz) (180g Vinyl)","description":"The professional collaboration and friendship between \u003cstrong\u003eSalvatore Accardo\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eGiulio Cesare Ricci\u003c\/strong\u003e continues.

Steve writes that the work is “similar to my pieces from the 1960s and ‘70s in that there are repeating patterns played on both marimbas, one or more beats out of phase, creating a series of two part unison canons. However, these patterns are more melodically developed, change frequently and each is usually repeated no more than three times, similar to my more recent work. The piece is also considerably more difficult to play than my earlier ones and requires two virtuosic performers.” Our two virtuosi are Joe Beribak on the left and Katy La Favre on the right.\r\nNext follows Lou Harrison’s Canticle No. 3, written in 1940\/1941, and premiered in 1942. Essentially a concerto for ocarina and percussion ensemble, Canticle No. 3 uses the haunting primitive sound of the ocarina (a Mexican terra-cotta flute which looks a little like a knobby sweet potato or cuddly sea creature) and a steel string guitar, both a strong contrast with Harrison’s creative assortment of percussion instruments. Joe Beribak plays ocarina and Derek Tywoniuk plays guitar.\r\n\r\nWe experimented with our musicians in many different locations for this recording, since we used one stereo AKG C-24 microphone and no mixer for all of our takes on this album. As Joe reminisced, “some instruments (like tom toms and snare drums) were designed for use with a modern orchestra, while other instruments (like the ocarina and teponaztli) are ethnic instruments designed to be played in intimate settings. So we adjusted our setup to create the balance and tone quality we wanted. We brought the ocarina closer to center, and we actually rotated the toms 90 degrees counter-clockwise in order to balance these two voices properly on the recording. As a result we needed to modify the way we cued each other, since our relative positions were radically different from the way we stand when we perform this piece live. As with everything we did in this Yarlung recording, each challenge gave us a new perspective that enriched the musical experience and made it even more fun.”\r\n\r\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Smoke-Mirrors-Rear-new.png\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignnone wp-image-229176\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Smoke-Mirrors-Rear-new-300x300.png\" alt=\"Smoke \u0026amp; Mirrors Vinyl Rear\" width=\"398\" height=\"398\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eTracks on this vinyl\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nUdacrep Akubad\r\n\r\nJuego de Rejoles\r\n\r\nVanish\r\n\r\nHappenstance\r\n\r\nSanatine\r\n\r\nPlease note that the tracklist below is indicative for the sound of the tracks on this vinyl and does represent the actual tracks on this vinyl.

It was provided by David Friedman, a New York-born jazz vibraphone legend.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eDrums, bass, piano, vibraphone.  This line-up is at least as rare in Hungary as it is a responsible challenge in the musical sense.  The music world has become acquainted with this form of quartet sound in connection with legendary formations.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eDecember 7, 2019 is a special date for the Quartet.  This is when our second album will be recorded. What sets this recording apart from everything else is the way and conditions of recording. The recording is made in a studio but in front of an audience. We could say that this will be a concert from which an album is made, but that would be a mistake. It will be an album from which a concert will be made. The difference is decisive. Here, the audience can see the workshop work, which in most cases can only enjoy the result.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eBut not only the interested eyes will determine the result of the recording, but also the technical features of the recording. Unlike the well-known separate recording that provides recording security, musicians will play their instruments in a space set up close to each other, using analog technology and the state-of-the-art digital, DSD 256 format recording by sound engineers. This is a challenge for both musicians and sound engineers. Still, these special circumstances help the band create the cool sound they represent in the most authentic way possible.

Fone's Natural Sound DSD recording fully enhances all the music from these instruments.\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eJulian Mazzariello\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003epiano\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnzo Pietropoli\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003ebass\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIDE A\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eTime after time\u003c\/strong\u003e Jule Styne 5'45\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhen I fall in love\u003c\/strong\u003e Edward Heyman - Victor Young 5'45\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfidia\u003c\/strong\u003e Alberto Dominguez 5'03\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eJust one of those things\u003c\/strong\u003e Cole Porter 5'45\"\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eTotal Time 22'19\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIDE B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluesette\u003c\/strong\u003e Toots Thielemans 4'03\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDalle radici\u003c\/strong\u003e Eduardo De Crescenzo 5'09\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eI concentrate on you\u003c\/strong\u003e Cole Porter 6'50\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eFootprints\u003c\/strong\u003e Wayne Shorter 5'40\"\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eTotal Time 21'42\"\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Fonè","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56742873104708,"sku":"SACD211-vinyl","price":59.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/01-easytude-live-julian-mazzariello-and-enzo-pietropaoli-vinyl.jpg?v=1789325048"},{"product_id":"sacd213-vinyl-duende-live-180g-vinyl","title":"Duende Live (180g Vinyl)","description":"\u003cstrong\u003ePrinted in USA, Limited Edition 496 copies\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cem\u003ePure Analogue Recording, Pure Analogue Cutting, One-Stage Pressing Process, 180gr.

Bach: Goldberg Variations [Double Album] (180g Vinyl)","description":"Forkel, the author of the first significant Bach monograph, tells the story of the origin of the composition. According to him, the great Johann Sebastian was commissioned by a certain Count Keyserlinck to compose the Goldberg Variations. The Count suffered from insomnia, therefore he asked the composer whom he had known from earlier to compose some music which his court harpsichordist, Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, could play for him from time to time in the tormenting hours of the night. Bach believed that a series of variations would best suit the purpose so that Goldberg could play different movements each night. Keyserlinck received the score and paid an appreciable sum for the work, handing over a golden plate with a hundred double Louis d’or.\r\n\r\nThe 27th variation continues the method only partially: it is a canon on the ninth but there are only two parts. Variation 30 is a Quodlibet of well-known folksongs instead of the expected canon on the tenth. Variations 4, 7, 10, and some others are character pieces (No. 7 is a gigue, No.10 is a fugato, but No. 16, the French overture, also belongs to this group), others (from Variation 5) are virtuoso pieces utilizing the technical possibilities of the two-manual harpsichord and are difficult to play on the piano, since the two hands always cross owing to the lack of the other manual. It remains an unanswered question of how Goldberg could cope with the task. Because, even if not at the age of 15, he played these movements for the sleepless Count at some time.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eLaszlo Borberly - Piano\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Hunnia Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56742929039684,"sku":"MRC1901-vinyl","price":49.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/01-MRC1901-La--szlo---Borbe--ly-----J.S.-Bach-Goldberg-Variationen.jpg?v=1789326893"},{"product_id":"hres2204-vinyl-gold-rings-of-the-wounded-stone-double-album-180g-vinyl","title":"Gold Rings Of The Wounded Stone [Double Album] (180g Vinyl)","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"It is an entirely improvised solo album.

And if your heart and ears are at the right place, you will understand what time, hope, sadness, joy, Hungary, Budapest and so many more things mean to me.

Jazz in the 1960s was one of the music's greatest eras, and thanks to a gentleman named George Klabin, we have this important document of one of its leading talents.\r\n\r\nGeorge was only 22 years old at the time, full of passion and engineering skill, when he took advantage of an offer by Evan's longtime manager, Helen Keane, to record Bill's new trio.

Gifted from an early age, she has won numerous awards and performs on many international stages. She is a Bösendorfer Artist.\r\n\r\nBach's Goldberg Variations, her first album, is an absolute masterpiece. The album was recorded in the Sala dell' Ermellino - Casa della Musica in Milano, Italy in November 2019. For this prestigious recording, Fone's Giulio Cesare Ricci used his legendary original Neumann U47 and U48 tube microphones. Recorded in Stereo DSD 64 with the Pyramix Recorder from Merging Technologies using the dCS A\/D and D\/A converters. This is a state-of-the-art recording system used without any sound manipulation, equalization, reverberation, compression, or expansion.  Simply natural sound with true timbre to best enhance the acoustics of the Sala dell 'Ermellino. The album has been mastered Giulio Cesare Ricci using the Signoricci system.\r\n\r\nThe result of this recording is fantastic. With this recording, Giulio Cesare Ricci wanted to make the listener live a unique experience. It is as if the listener was sitting on an armchair positioned in the ideal point of the Sala dell 'Ermellino. The sound has a field effect, and its depth, width, and height are very appreciable. Great dynamics but also great precision - It's an album not to be missed.\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eIs the Bach we have heard Ferruccio Busoni play on his piano legitimate? What about Glenn Gould? Or Jörg Demus? And the music that carries us away when Angela Hewitt is at the keyboard? Let’s admit it, the age-old controversy, or better, the recent reparation of the “querelle des anciens et des modernes” which was stirred up three centuries ago by the duelers Gian Giuseppe Orsi and Dominique Bouhours, has wearied to death all those who still want to “bien penser” (in the words of the above-mentioned count and the Jesuit priest, as they mauled each other with ceremonial bows). Of course: let’s be fair, credit where credit is due. Sooner or later, every true musician must deal with a collective problem. The question is: “When playing ancient music, is it a noteworthy phenomenon to always and regardless use ancient instruments, i.e. instruments which are contemporaries of the music being performed and its composer (or, in the case of a total dearth of ancient instruments, modern ones constructed in a similar manner)?” It is a noble problem and every musician who is also a thinker must take it into consideration.\r\n\u003c\/em\u003e- Gile Bae, piano\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC 1 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIDE A\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAria\u003c\/strong\u003e 3'47\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 1\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'52\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 2 \u003c\/strong\u003e1'19\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 3 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecanone all'unisono\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'37\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 4\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'09\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 5\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'18\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 6 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecanone alla seconda\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'00\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 7 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eal tempo di giga\u003c\/strong\u003e 2'08\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 8\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'51\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 9 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecanone alla terza\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'24\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 10 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003efughetta\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'26\"\r\n\u003cem\u003eTotal Time 18'58\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003eSIDE B\u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 11\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'42\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 12 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecanone alla quarta\u003c\/strong\u003e 2'03\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 13\u003c\/strong\u003e 5'33\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 14\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'51\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 15 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecanone alla quinta in moto contrario: Andante (G minor) \u003c\/strong\u003e4'06\"\r\n\u003cem\u003eTotal Time 15’18”\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDISC 2 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIDE A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 16 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eouverture\u003c\/strong\u003e 2'54\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 17\u003c\/strong\u003e 2'01\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 18 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecanone alla sesta\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'23\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 19 \u003c\/strong\u003e1'07\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 20\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'52\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 21 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecanone alla settima (G minor)\u003c\/strong\u003e 2'08\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 22 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ealla breve\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'26\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 23\u003c\/strong\u003e 2'04\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 24\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e canone all'ottava\u003c\/strong\u003e 2'15\"\r\n\u003cem\u003eTotal Time 17’14”\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIDE B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 25 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eadagio (G minor) \u003c\/strong\u003e9'27\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 26 \u003c\/strong\u003e1'57\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 27 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecanone alla nona\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'40\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 28 \u003c\/strong\u003e2'29\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 29\u003c\/strong\u003e 2'03\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariation 30\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e quodlibet\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'47\"\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAria finale\u003c\/strong\u003e 3'49\"\r\n\u003cem\u003eTotal Time 23’14”\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fonè","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56742930874692,"sku":"SACD223-vinyl","price":89.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/01-SACD223.jpg?v=1789327090"},{"product_id":"ttk0055-vinyl-the-schumann-collection-vol-1-180g-double-vinyl","title":"The Schumann Collection, Vol. 1 (180g Double Vinyl)","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eTRPTK vinyl productions are all done on ultra-high-quality 180-grams vinyl, using Direct Metal Mastering (DMM) technology cutting straight from the DXD 32bit master.

If I play Mozart, for example, you make up your own story connecting the pieces and stimulate your fantasy around them. You must create a narrative you play the program within. And that’s totally the opposite of what the composer originally meant with it, but it gives you structure in the fantasy around the piece. \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eWith Schumann, though, it’s a different kind of story. He clearly tells you what he means, or envisions, with his music. You just need to get as close to what he meant as possible. I try to get myself into that sphere – which is an enormous task in itself – and then you still must be able to communicate that by converting all of this into the technical and mechanical side of things. \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eIn the end, it’s about pressing keys on a keyboard. You can think of it as artistic big deal and all, but it’s just as much simply a craft. It’s all in translating what’s written on paper into playing the instrument, materializing this fantasy world into the mechanicals of it all.”\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n-- Nicholas van Poucke\r\n\r\nYou can read more about this album in an interview featuring TRPTK's Brendon Heinst and Pianist Nicolas van Poucke in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/news\/a-word-with-the-young-freethinker-among-dutch-pianists\/\"\u003ethis\u003c\/a\u003e article on the NativeDSD Music Blog.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/news\/a-word-with-the-young-freethinker-among-dutch-pianists\/","brand":"TRPTK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56742932054340,"sku":"TTK0055-Vinyl","price":31.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/01-TTK0055.jpg?v=1789327168"},{"product_id":"2xhdja-v1140-shirley-horn-softly-200g-45-rpm-double-disc-vinyl","title":"Shirley Horn - Softly (200g 45 rpm Double Disc Vinyl)","description":"This exceptional recording of a remarkable interpretation captures the reflective mood of the late-night intimacy of the recording sessions.

At least 214 of these are for solo violin and orchestra, but as Michael Talbot remarks, ‘scarcely a year passes without the announcement of some fresh discovery’. So, what was the ‘concerto’ to Vivaldi? What about it did he love so much to have composed so many? In the decade before Vivaldi composed Le Quattro Stagioni.\r\n\r\nDespite what this recorded collection suggests, few of Vivaldi’s instrumental works have programmatic titles. On the whole, titles gesture towards a general mood. Il Riposo and L’amoroso are examples of this indication of Affekt – indeed, both are united in their key of gleaming E major. The case of Il Grosso Mogul is stranger. There seems to be no known link between Vivaldi and the Indian court of the Grand Mughal, Akbar. The extreme virtuosity required by the soloist in the outer movements, as well as the long, fully written-out cadenzas, suggest a theatrical function. Perhaps Vivaldi performed it as a ‘theatre concerto’ as part of an opera plot set in India. French royalty, however, did play a huge role in the reception of Le Quattro Stagioni.\r\n\r\nProducer Jonathan Freeman-Attwood writes \"\u003cem\u003eWorking with Rachel Podger and Brecon Baroque has been an object lesson in starting anew and identifying the ingredients which make ‘Le Quattro Stagioni’ great works. Virtuosity is non-negotiable here and Rachel has it in abundance. But it’s the color, poetry, vibrancy and evocative characterization of weather, human warmth, and fragility, captured by the dynamic flux of Rachel interlocking with her colleagues in Brecon Baroque, that deliver near-unimaginable qualities in this music.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eRachel Podger, Violin\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrecon Baroque\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fL-X68dYm2U\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"ms-editor-squiggler\" style=\"color: initial;font: initial;background: initial;background-blend-mode: initial;border: initial;border-radius: initial;border-collapse: initial;caption-side: initial;clear: initial;columns: initial;column-fill: initial;column-rule: initial;column-span: initial;cursor: initial;flex: initial;flex-flow: initial;float: initial;height: 0px;letter-spacing: initial;margin: initial;max-height: initial;max-width: initial;min-height: initial;min-width: initial;overflow: initial;padding: initial;text-align: initial;text-decoration: initial;text-indent: initial;text-transform: initial;vertical-align: initial;border-spacing: initial;width: initial\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Channel Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56742933135684,"sku":"40318-vinyl","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/01-Vivaldi-No-Logo.jpg?v=1789327194"},{"product_id":"2xhdns-v1247-jazz-at-the-pawnshop-late-night-deluxe-edition-200g-double-vinyl","title":"Jazz At The Pawnshop - Late Night [Deluxe Edition 200g Double Vinyl]","description":"\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eAAA Audiophile 200g 45rpm Double LP\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eMastered by René Laflamme at 2xHD on Nagra Equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eCut All Analog at Bernie Grundman Mastering Lab\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003ePlated by Master Craft \u0026amp; Pressed at Le Vinylist in Quebec\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe original Jazz At The Pawnshop album, recorded in 1976, has been regarded as “The Best Jazz Recording of the Century!” (also available at NativeDSD along with Jazz At The Pawnshop Volumes 2 and 3).\r\n\r\nAnyone who owns Jazz At The Pawnshop will not be able to resist this album and experiencing the enduring spirit of an incredible musical evening.

Matt Arthur and Jara Holdert’s journey started with a serendipitous meeting on a midsummer evening and has evolved into a deep musical and personal relationship bridging the North Sea. They write and sing songs together in two-part harmony about time, love, life, and the universe.\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/dsd-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/web\/blog\/03_If-Only_320kbps-2ch.mp3\r\n\r\nMatt Arthur, finding himself lost and unfulfilled at home, left Britain on a spontaneous trip to Amsterdam, alone, searching for a spiritual and musical break. He took himself to a local open mic event at Amsterdam’s café De Koe. That’s where Jara Holdert first noticed him, sitting at the other end of the bar. After they heard one another’s songs, they knew immediately that they were woven from the same artistic cloth. A conversation started over some jenevers and continued when they met up again the next evening and Jara showed Matt around the canals under a full Amsterdam moon. They talked about music and philosophy, life, and heartbreak. And then they had to part, way too soon.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eDiscovery\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nMatt went back to London, and Jara stayed in Amsterdam. Too often, stories end there. And it would have been a beautiful story, even if it were only ever going to be a fleeting one. But when, a year later, Jara decided to pay Matt an impromptu visit, they discovered that their musical connection went far deeper than they’d realized. The moment they were in the same room again, something clicked. Something in the space between them – the space they had reduced from miles and miles to just meters – fell into place.\r\n\r\n“The very first day, we went up to Matt’s studio in Tottenham and from the moment I picked up a guitar, we were playing, exploring, adding, and a song flowed out. It surprised both of us,” says Jara.\r\n\r\nThe next two years were spent writing songs over WhatsApp, meeting over FaceTime and visiting each other —- when they could afford it —- to play intimate acoustic shows together.\r\n\u003cblockquote\u003eWe discovered that there was this kind of magic between us, musically.” says Matt. “We don’t ever need to discuss things too much. We could start and end songs on stage whenever we liked, or we could change melodies and arrangements and we knew that we would follow each other”.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\r\nJara: “Our days together were always limited, so we never had much time to rehearse. But we discovered that it didn’t matter when we played impromptu concerts - we trusted each other musically, and because we took songs on stage right after we’d written something, the material stayed fresh and the performance adventurous. We both had experience with studio projects and band projects where tracks were perfected to a tee and rehearsed for hours, but that’s not what we were about. Our playing together felt more free, spontaneous, a breath of relief. We thought part of our magic was in that - and that the live-feel of our material is what we should try to capture if we’d ever record.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Coo\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nIn April 2019, the time was ripe - the Coo was ready to capture their sound as it was created, as it evolved, and as it had always been heard —- in a live environment.
