From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

RE: NYP cancels Fall Season.

As for SQ, my test is simple. When I turn off the screen, can I see the performers focused well in 3d space? With the better red book, I can. With DCH I can see them left to right, not particularly well focused. As for tone, listen to the English horn solo I wrote about a few days ago for instrumental tone. I believe it to be unique from this source, but they were using two studio mikes there. You can talk about "most" DACs. Most folks here don't use "most" DACs. Compare DCH SQ to the better live recordings from Amsterdam, for ex.

If they gave a fraction of the bandwidth they are using to upscale to 4k, don't you think they could overcome any "hesitation" issue?

As for what's being performed, is there anything you want to hear from the NYPO that is not on the Berlin site that has been recording for more than 20 years? And in a better acoustic? Any conductor, any soloist? And are you going to compare how the BP plays for Petrenko with how the NYPO plays for anyone? Do you think there's not a reason the NY band has, historically, found it difficult to attract a conductor of the first rank?
