An Extraordinary Release in Pure DSD 256
When two masters play side-by-side, magic happens. So it is with this excellent new recording from pianists extraordinaire Josep Colom and Javier Laso.
I have long admired the playing of both Spanish pianist Josep Colom and Swiss-born pianist Javier Laso. Both are masters of their craft.
As one might expect, the performances are delightful. Filled with sparkling energy. These works dance, swirl, peek and slide away in the hands of these two great pianists. And, as one might hope, Colom and Laso perform with the utmost congeniality and complementary movement. That old expression, “they almost read each others’ minds” is very apropos.
And the superb musicianship is enhanced gratifyingly by the brilliant recording from Gonzalo Noqué. Once again, Gonzalo mounts to the skies in my estimation for the sound quality of this release. Recorded in DSD 256, then mastered entirely in the DSD domain, with no PCM, no analog mixer, this is Pure DSD 256 – Direct Mixed audio.
Gonzalo is making a very intentional choice to record and release in Pure DSD 256. He lays down his tracking channels in DSD 256. But he then mixes purely in the DSD domain, with no PCM, for a final release that is Pure DSD 256. If you have not listened to Pure DSD 256 recordings, you have not yet heard the best sound quality that is being produced today.
This new recording from Eudora Records, Mozart & Schubert, is an great choice to hear some of the best sound quality being made available today. And, the performances are top of the house.

Very nice listen. These pianists have a dynamic often missed in four hand piano works and it works well.

Nice rich open sound/ Extremely well recorded in Pure DSD. I have also listened to it in DXD and the difference is obvious. As for the performance, it shows that both pianists seemingly melt into one. I recommend the buy.
