#NowPlaying another album that dropped today that I preordered a couple weeks ago. I am one of the few people who is not a big #LangLang fan, but I really enjoying watching the live recording on #DeutscheGrammophon's Stage+. On #SaintSaëns, Lang performs with his wife, #GinaAlice, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, and the one and only #AndrisNelsons. It is a very good recording. DG even released it in 24-Bit / 192 kHz #HiRes, and boy, you can tell.

#NowPlaying the new album released today that I preordered a couple of weeks ago, Francesca Dego with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Brahms & Busoni Violin Concertos.

#FrancescaDego doesn't disappoint. She is one of my favorite violinists. She knows how to take tame, drawn out music and make it intricate and constantly changing. She does this a lot. She finds the dynamic atmosphere within the layers.

If only I could make a career out of watching #StarTrek.

Continuing my private #FolkMusic festival with Joni Mitchell's Archives, Vol. 3: The Asylum Years (1972-1975).

I have yet to listen to the complete 5 CD album. I am mildly surprised they were able to get 24 bit #HiRes out of this. I am glad they made the effort. Of course, I am not surprised they could only get 44.1 kHz. That is to be expected. You can only work with the original recording quality that you have, demos and live.
