A great selection of Bach organ chorals. I think is a very inspired interpretation.

It is a delight to be able to listen to works by Antonio de Cabezon on an instrument like this. Performed by a magnificent connoisseur and executor of his works.

Miguel Ulla sings Scarlatti, Stradella and Fago [DSD EP]

This recording is an absolute masterpiece for the begining of a countertenor career! I have had the oportunity to see him perform live and I am very pround of his developement. Can´t wait for his future recordings. A great experience

Holst: The Planets & The Perfect Fool
★★★★★ Joseph Fenton
Holst: The Planets & The Perfect Fool

Listen to the music that inspired John Williams, one of the most beloved composers of the modern era.

The orchestra really shines in the DSD format. Given a good playback system, you feel like you're there. Instruments come through with a clarity unmatched by any other music format you may listen to.

Holst deserves more recognition, and getting this compilation will give you some of his finest work. Well worth the money.

The recording is superb. With all the instruments, including the vocals, being given plenty of space to breathe.

The songs and their interpretations match the standards of the recording. So, for me, this is a must-buy album for lovers of Vocal Jazz.

Singing Bells Meditation [Pure DSD]
★★★★★ Terry Franklin
Singing Bells Meditation [Pure DSD]

A totally different sound experience. I highly recommend this album. This is exactly why I bought my Meze headphones.

Raízes [Pure DSD]

Raízes [Pure DSD]

Raízes in Pure DSD 256 is melancholic South America in form of a wonderful sounding album. Highly recommended!

Les McCann Live At Village Vanguard 1967
★★★★★ David M Davison
Les McCann Live At Village Vanguard 1967

I was in two minds about buying this album. The music is not as smooth or as swinging as I usually prefer. However, I am glad I bought the album.

The sound quality is better than I had expected. The instruments are well placed, with the double bass on the left, the drums (mainly) on the right and piano in the middle connecting the two. I did find the “vocal accompaniment” (by Les McCann, I presume) to be a little distracting at times but this is a live performance.

I thoroughly enjoyed the music. It made me wish that I had been at the Village Vanguard that night.

I absolutely love this recording. It gets better every time I listen.

It was the very first recording that I purchased from Native DSD. The sound and the performance is just fantastic.

Musica Callada (Music of Silence) [Pure DSD]
★★★★ Tony Dennison
Musica Callada (Music of Silence) [Pure DSD]

The sound and performance are very nice. There are a few tracks where it seems the composer is trying to prove how outrageous they can be, which happens. I eventually just erased those few tracks as they always pulled me out of my immersion.

Highly recommended.

Paganini & Rolla
★★★★ Tony Dennison
Paganini & Rolla

A fun recording to be sure. Sonically the album gives no reason to complain.

Each time I listen the program seems to end more quickly than the last. Making me want at least one more track.

Hearing the pads on the oboe makes the performance very personal.
