On her Eudora debut, The Butterfly Effect, pianist Noelia Rodiles brings together three of her favorite Romantic composers (Schumann, Mendelssohn and Schubert) and three of the best-known Spanish composers of recent years (Jesús Rueda, David del Puerto and Joan Magrané). Noelia Rodiles commissioned them to write works freely inspired by Schumann’s Papillons, Mendelssohn’s Lieder ohne Worte, op.30 and Schubert’s Adagio, D178 respectively.
The result is a trio of pairs of mutually transformative compositions: not only do the contemporary pieces take their inspiration from the Romantic works, but the 19th-century works also acquire a new color and focus when juxtaposed with their 21st-century counterparts.
The Butterfly Effect is a Pure DSD release. The album features a 5 Channel DSD 256 recording with no DXD processing that was produced and recorded by Gonzalo Noque. All the DSD bit rates at NativeDSD were created in the DSD Domain by NativeDSD Mastering Engineer Tom Caulfield from the DSD 256 original recording using the Signalyst HQ Player 4 Pro mastering tools.

With a light and delicate touch, Noelia Rodiles carries us on a rollicking joy filled ride with Schumann, Rueda, Mendelssohn, and del Puerta, then lands us gently with Schubert and Magrane.
If some of these names are unfamiliar, I encourage you to join me and explore this lovely recording. Another transparent recording by Gonzalo Noqué in Pure DSD!
“It is clear that Noelia is a competent pianist, having an idiomatic and distinct sensitivity for Old and New, with light and technically mature toucher, quite apt for the works she has commissioned.[…] The icing on the cake comes from Gonzalo Noqué, the producer that has engineered so many exquisite recordings, using the latest techniques in DSD 256 surround 5.0.”
