The album has been praised for its musicality and phrasing. The album includes 33 tracks, featuring a variety of compositions that showcase Fung's versatility and talent as a pianist. It was recorded in Zipper Hall in Los Angeles and produced by Bob Attiyeh at Yarlung. Evening Conversations has been well-received, with performances described as full of colors and nuances, demonstrating Fung's ability to tell an interesting and fascinating story through his music.\r\n\r\n\"\u003cem\u003eIt is a rare treat when a music writer and critic twists a producer’s arm to re-release an early album in a record label’s catalog. David Fung’s Evening Conversations put Yarlung Records on the audiophile map, and it was last released in 2012. Rush Paul, dear to all of us at NativeDSD, was the friendly arm-twister in our case, and encouraged us to release a fresh mastering of Evening Conversations in honor of Yarlung’s 20th Anniversary. \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eWhat a treat it was to revisit the original takes and bring them to life in DSD with equipment Yarlung didn’t have at the time of the original recording. Not only did we not have the fabulous Merging Technologies Hapi to record the actual DSD files then, but we have since refined and developed new equipment such as Arian Jansen’s SHI18 (in the analog domain) to refine the soundstage and make a good recording better. This is the first edition of David’s Evening Conversations transferred to 256fs DSD, and this is an edition I suspect will stand the test of time.\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003cem\u003e\r\n\u003c\/em\u003e- Bob Attiyeh, producer\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3366ff;\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/news\/re-mastered-edition-of-an-audiophile-classic-from-yarlung-records\/\"\u003eRead full Producer's Note\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis new DSD 256 transfer is a magical listening experience.
