German Hi-Res Download Site

My only experience with this site is the download of some ostensibly 24/96 files of Mehta conducting some Sch�nberg (Verklarte Nacht and the First Chamber Symphony). Check out the link below (First movement of the Chamber Symphony) for some not very good looking high frequencies (or lack thereof!). Poor old Arnold!

EDIT: BTW, thanks for posting about this, because I downloaded these files months ago and had forgotten about them. Your post gave me the impetus to write to Highresaudio support to get their comments on this situation - I'll post an update if I get an interesting reply.)

Not what it's cracked up to be

Thanks Chris, that will be great, thanks. nt, posted on August 4, 2014 at 18:19:46

I'm so sorry - I got a reply back from hiresaudio.com indicating that they couldn't find the recording I was referring to. I checked a little further, and I had actually downloaded the Mehta/Sch�nberg files from hd-klassik.com - not hiresaudio. I'm so embarrassed for impugning the reputation of hiresaudio just because of my own confusion! I did send them an apology e-mail, but I wanted to be sure that I posted here too. Once again, my bad - not theirs!

In that case, I can tell you , posted on August 5, 2014 at 12:35:09
