It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Ansermet's Petrushka available at HDTT !!!

HDTT's DSD transfer of Ansermet's wondeful Petruska is likely the best digital facsimile us mere mortals will ever get our hands on. I've already listened to the download in DSD 64 and it's breathtaking.

If you're new to the piece, or have only heard modern, cosmopolitan orchestras play it; or if you've only heard the Suisse Romande on CD and believe their sound to be thin and scrawny, do yourself a favor and at least sample HDTTs reissue. All the magic of the lp and tape is retain but without the alleged hassle.

The Dsd isn't edited but the tape used was evidently flawless. I didn't hear a single blemish.

It still amazes me that Decca's engineers were able to capture an orchestra better than BIS or Chandos. You can practically point to the tambourine player who seems 15 ft to the rear of the speakers. Amazing, and the performance measures up to the sound.
