Apparently, it was recorded by WQXR.
24-bit recordings have been around for over 15 years - what gives? Last week, I talked to a local engineer who has small studio in Berkeley, and she said she has the capability to record in 5.1 DXD (24/352.8). So even tiny studios can do this, and WQXR can't even get beyond two-channel 16/44.1? Unbelievable.
CD resolution is technology of the 80's (not that it can't still provide excellent results BTW). And this level of resolution on a brand new LSO Live album is really a bummer in this day and age.
Rant over. ;-)
