In Reply to: RE: Chandos Masters: DSD or PCM? Real confusion! posted by Bruce B on July 6, 2012 at 09:40:12:
I STILL haven't listened to it all, but my first impression is that what I've heard (some of both works) is very good - a bit more distantly recorded than the Debussy and Saint-Saëns hi-rez multi-channel files I had previously downloaded from Chandos. I actually prefer the newer recordings (which are pretty spectacular) to this Suk recording - although part of this impression may have to do with the nature of Suk's orchestration vs. that of Debussy and Saint-Saëns, both of whom (despite Debussy's "impressionism") tend to choose from among the clearer colors in their respective tonal palettes. I'll try to post a follow-up once I listen to the whole thing.
