Fuga Lynx features the Lynx Flute Ensemble performing the work of Bach (Die Kunst der Fuge BWV 1080, Ohne 4 Kanons). Lynx is infinitely inspirational and there is something nearly impossible in their performance of Bach's final masterpiece.
"This rare album concluded with the bells of the church resonating after the last hymn "I advance before the throne". Their spirit and enthusiasm to come to a cold church in Germany only to record of the music of Bach and "Fuga's Technique" was incredible. The most important quality of the album is its insight into Bach's work. All the hardships and demanding work were rewarded by listening to the achievements of this recording. Bach himself dies without listening to this work, but what he intended in the draft of this "fugue technique" is an eternal mystery. As there are no designations of musical instruments, it has been played in various organ versions so far, but the four flutes are particularly close to the sound of the organ and breathe more elastically (flexible, elastic) than the organ. So, I think that Lynx use of 'Fuga's technique' can be said to be the best version of this music, an ideal performance with 4 flutes. Lynx found an interpretation of its own that is unique and obvious, a transparent persuasive score. The acoustics and bell in addition the character of the Gosse Ruth Hausen church, incorporating the latest technology (DSD 128fs, 5.6MHz in Stereo and three-dimensional Surround Sound), recorded by Seigen Ono resulted in a wonderful and magnificent album."

Bach’s Art of the Fugue. I love this music no matter what instruments are involved. Check out Lynx, a quartet of Japanese flute players, traveling to a church in Germany to record Bach’s The Art Of The Fugue (BWV 1080). What a delightful discovery this is!
The album is called Fuga Lynx. I was totally enchanted by this familiar music, and how well it worked with the flute ensemble. The church recording provides a wonderful acoustic as well.
My wife and I love to sit back and relax listening to this album. The recording and engineering are excellent as well as the musicianship. So very nice!
A real gem. The most profound, vibrant and, above all, unique interpretation of these masterpieces, the Leçons de ténèbres. I had the chance to hear them performed live by Miguel and Aurea Vox; now, this album is like that moment, preserved forever. Absolutely brilliant: Miguel is becoming increasingly special, personal and beautiful.
Simply beautiful Jazz music. This Pure DSD 256 file is amazing at creating a very believable stage in front of your listening room.
This album, with a few others from NativeDSD, was part of a DSD review I did on my YouTube channel (mikesvinylexperience). The Blue Hours Sessions is a go-to for me when I just want to unwind with a great musical and sonic experience!
Okay, I couldn't agree more with the first two reviews here. If you enjoy the cut-and-dried simplicity of a Jazz Trio, or you're just in the mood, give this a try.
The musicians and the recording are fantastic. Such precision and so serene. Bravo!
Old Gold is superbly produced, mixed and mastered with that classic Stockfisch sound. Great clear vocals, rich guitars and a lovely Old School Classic Vintage feel. A great choice for relaxed and critical listening.
I love instrumental Jazz. So when I encountered the Rembrandt Trio's first album, entitled "The Blue Hour Sessions", I had a brief listen to samples, liked what I heard and bought it (DSD 128 resolution).
As a result of that experience, it will probably come as no surprise to learn that, when "The Golden Hour Sessions" - the group's follow-up album - appeared, I had a listen to samples of that and ended up buying it too (DSD 126 as well).
I was very impressed with the playing on both albums. I also found the music to be highly enjoyable. When the superb recording quality is also taken into account, I feel a warm recommendation is definitely warranted.
The Golden Hour Sessions is an outstanding recording and is a testament to the talent of Rembrandt Freichs Trio. Just another excellent offering from Native DSD
This was one of my first DSD albums. Got it in DSD 256. Now I have more than a few. This one is by far my favorite.
Every time I listen to it I'm amazed at the clarity and detail. The vibraphone jumps out at you every single time and I am amazed every single time. The limited number of reviews do NOT do it justice! It is simply outstanding!
A superbly produced, recorded and mastered album. Live Encounters is a warm intimate Live Jazz audience recording that is very enjoyable, adventurous and engaging without becoming overly showy.
Patricia Barber - Audiophile Queen!! Clique! is superbly produced, recorded and mastered. The album showcases Patricia with elegance, originality and impeccable musicianship. A very rewarding listen for Jazz lovers. A must purchase for any music library.
One of the most creative recordings I have heard. The interplay between Bloom and percussionist Miller reminds me of (weird, I know) the mating dance of rattlesnakes. Beautifully intertwined. Two lives moving in harmony in a way not often heard in music.
