An amazing and rare piece of art. The sound is not from this world. I close my eyes and 'see the voices'.

I don't recall having this experience with music turning to matter as I had from this album.

We want more!

A brilliant album from Tal Trivish's production house. Exciting and warm arrangements and of course Iggy's perfect performance that elevates the songs to a different level. Awesome!

Music has the magic power to create strong and unexpected connections between different cultures and countries. This is exactly what I experienced after listening to Iggy Dayan's album.

It is not at all essential to understand the words in Hebrew to be immediately transported by the invitation to travel. To the heart of the kibbutz where Iggy lives and from where he recorded this magnificent album. The authenticity and purity of the sounds will penetrate you to the bottom of your heart.

Congratulations also to the technical team. Don't miss it!

From the first notes of this version of the Mahler 5th Symphony, you get this magic feeling of total immersion. No matter if it is a "small" orchestra, the majestic music of Mahler is plenty and in addition you can hear all the details of the instruments.

To me this is a wonderful interpretation that has the best of both worlds, the power and yet the detail. The musicians of this ensemble, that I discover with this symphony, are breathtakingly skillful. They bring all the emotions this music can give. Love it.

I also got the binaural version and the experience with headphones is superb.

This is an absolute masterpiece! The album took me back to warm sweet childhood memories of Israel.

In terms of sound quality, Tal’s production is a major embellishment to Iggy’s music as he manages to penetrate Iggy’s personality and adds great depth and richness to the sound. I definitely recommend this.

Sit back, relax and get transformed. Simply fantastic!

An absolute pleasure! A combination of lyrics written by the most illustrious Israeli poets, a sensitive, loving vocal performance by Iggy Dayan, and a crystal-clear guitar sound!

I have a Horus 8 Channel system. Likely the same converters this was recorded on.

This recording itself is excellent. But 5.1? Hmm. Not quite. More like 3.0, Left + Right + Center. I am quite surprised and disappointed, really. Maybe I am missing something, but "Surround" should include Lr and Rs.

This recording, as well as several others I purchased from NativeDSD fall well short of what I expect "Surround" to be. Stereo, two thumbs up. Surround, meh. Stereo 5 stars. Surround, not worth the money.

A wonderful interpretation magnified by a very good sound recording.
Thanks Pentatone!

Some little noises on the right channel (all along the recording). These are very light noises but shouldn’t exist. Annoying for a headphone listening but OK on loudspeakers.

Pierre Boulez is a better interpretation for my taste but the sound take on the Boulez is pretty bad! But Ivan Fisher did a good one on this album.

A bit disappointed for my first order I would say. Let's try another one.

Thanks to Jonas!

This DXD recording is absolutely wonderful! I'm planning a trip to Holland to hear them live on stage...

This album is a gem, a pure delight!

This is quite an interesting combination of Spinet and Guitar, both plucking instruments but with different colors and sounds.

This is quite a long album. A good value and with a large collection of Chamber Music not written specifically for these instruments but worth listening to. Most of these pieces were written for Pianoforte and Guitar like the Diabelli or Carulli although the "lighter" Spinet gives to the dúo a freshness and direct expressivity.

The Beethoven was originally written for Mandolin and Pianoforte and the Wagenseil probably for Lute and Cembalo. I enjoyed the combination being very unusual but transparent and rich in color and versatility.

The music as the title describes as "galante" is charming and enjoyable all the way through. Great XIX Century Guitar Chamber Music played with taste and mastery. Excellent sound, balance and acoustics.

Listening in Stereo DSD 128:
Sounds so good!
Very nice space!
Beautiful ambience!

I recognize that I was attracted by the title of this album "Tañido Español" but unfortunately it was not quite what I expected.

This "clock bells" music is not my cup of tea. I am sorry to say that those arrangements of wonderful pieces, in my opinion, do not fit into the new dress. Pick up this album only if you are crazy about bells.

I am not a big flamenco guitar fan but this album has the elegance and musicality as well as the good technique , I mean clean technique, that many flamenco players, in my opinion , lack.

The music is refined, not brutal, and what is interesting to me. Is that all of this compositions are before Paco de Lucía days, this means to me a, somehow, more "pure" real flamenco guitar music.

Another happy surprise are the two original compositions by Mr. Gonda. The last two tracks of the album. I really like them, good quality music, original, tasty and with a good dose of honest human emotion.

The sound is excellent. Great mic-ing. I hope we hear more from this player and composer.

This is really a magnificent contribution to the Lute repertoire. Reggio its an amazing composer with an incredible personality although at some moments you can hear Scarlatti or Boccherini.

I never thought the combination of Lute and Harp could be so effective. The sound atmosphere created is very beautiful and the sound of the recording is superb. Young, brilliant performers. Highly recommended.

The creativity of this group in synthesizers and voice is just amazing and perfect. This album is a great listen and I'll happily purchase more Sunsetron DSD albums in the future. They should be rewarded for their fine work.

No doubt this recording is excellent but almost every track of music is being cut off too early. I have a pretty decent sound system and would like to hear the music notes fade naturally as it performed by the artists. Are they trying to reduce the digital file size? It is not necessary.

Here is another 2XHD album that deserves a listen. The atmosphere is smooth and almost meditative given the story behind these post mortem track selections. Bravo to the 2XHD Team.

My favorite tracks are the 3 organ pieces. I compare 2XHD albums with wine from Napa Valley, you can buy blindly and are rarely disappointed.

This album is simply magic.

David Ball's dazzling technique is astonishing and beautifully articulated, yet the technical demands never seemed to get in the way of true musicianship.

I have never heard these masterpieces written by Liszt before. But I can assure you, the Norma and the Konzertsolo really are two of the greatest pieces of the piano repertoire. Preludes by Debussy were new for me as well, which are really miniature diamonds among the two massive giants by Liszt.

I was very happy yesterday when I found this Liszt album (and little Debussy) here. I love Liszt and sadly some of his greatest works are still not available in DSD format.

I used to play the piano myself, and believe me, the two monumental pieces by Liszt on this album are really two of the most challenging works of the piano repertoire. Ball's playing is astonishing, it is hard to imagine how it is possible to play all those notes with two hands only.

Although the technical challenges of these pieces by Liszt are limitless, and Ball's technique is extremely splendid, his musicianship made me forget all this, his unbelievable technical abilities, and we were enjoying the core and beauty of the music.

Thanks to Hunnia Records as well. The sound is beautiful. We were enjoying the wonderful sounds of pianissimos, levels of colors, and even the time, especially in the harrowing Preludes by Debussy.

Thanks Mr. Ball, thanks Hunnia Records.

Just amazing. Strangely I put off downloading this album because the samples from the webpage to my Mac sounded particularly unpleasant, relative to others on the site.

I decided to try it and wow, just amazing. It is just perfect. The sound, the execution, the repertoire, fantastic on every level.

I listened to the album in 5.1 Channel Surround Sound. I consider the program as a cross-over between Jazz and Folk music, mainly Acoustic. For me it really succeeded. The program on this album is easy accessible.

The recording is impressive and done in real immersive Surround Sound (Surround speakers contain a major part of the musical information). As is usual with 2L the 0.1 subwoofer channel is used and this time it contains very low frequencies (I guess non-acoustic, but done very tastefully). As usually with 2L there is plenty of reverb but it is all very well equilibrated.

This is the album to demonstrate your Surround Sound system, including Subwoofer, to your visiting friends!

Papa Haydn! Just beautiful!

Even though this Trovatore was recorded in 1970 and it is in mono, and kind of scruffy mono at that.

The vocals are, however, smoothly and palpably rendered with virtually no overloading. Notwithstanding the technical limitations of the recording, it’s a fine testament to the singers involved.

Pedro Lavirgen is a powerhouse of a tenor. Since recordings of him are hard to come by, this series is a welcome addition to his discography.

This Pagliacci is in Mono. Not only that, but it sounds like mono from 1951, not 1971.

There are some drops in level and other tape artifacts. It’s live, so you hear audience and stage noises. I enjoyed the performance but expected decent stereo sound. For historical recording enthusiasts only.

There is some good and bad in this download. The Britten and the Strauss Metamorphosis are good performances, however, the so-called "Fragments" are a a series of daydreaming chord progressions that say nothing and go nowhere. These were extremely disappointing for me, & are already deleted from my library.
