Some AM radio hits sounding really nice in MQA.

Very nice classical guitar in 24/353.8 MQA.

Just started playing this and it pops out the speakers beautifully

I keep recommending this, but when Simon Mayo made it album of the week, today, and played ‘Love’s Unkind’, I just had to go back to the 192K MQA version…just wonderful.

As with Chic, Donna Summer, via Moroder, is the disco that even prog fans can appreciate.

This is sounding nice…

this is a lovely album.

Chrislayeruk · May 12, 2022, 6:40pm

Get down and dirty in MQA Studio

Chrislayeruk · May 17, 2022, 5:44pm

This has been a long time coming…

Alan_Yang · May 22, 2022, 4:11pm

Cool crossover.

Whilst I’m not quite sure of Andris Nelsons’ abilities as a conductor, there is no denying that there is much to enjoy here, impressively recorded and thrilling in MQA.
Try the famous opening from ‘Also Sprach Zarathrustra’, Salome’s ‘Dance of the Seven Veils’, and the lovely ‘Rosenkavalier Suite’.

Similarly not sure what to make of this recording of my favourite Mendelssohn Symphony; ‘Italian’ (No. 4)…is it too Italian?
Still, check out the last movement, which remains one of the most thrilling of all symphonies, after Beethoven 7.

Fresh sounding Remaster, now available in MQA, without Unplugged.

If you are one of the people who contributed to the 1.2billion views of the music video on You Tube, AND you love MQA, fate has smiled…

Adding this Tidal link for the full 96K MQA Rick experience

MQA 192…

Some reviewers of classical music will speak highly of a performer who conveys ‘concentration’.

Sokolov displays this in abundance, in a wonderful live album, for when you want to be drawn into something quiet, and in 96K MQA.

Richard_Graham · June 14, 2022, 4:25pm

This is interesting.

Of the wave of younger conductors, I find Nézet-Séguin the most musical, and have enjoyed his Beethoven in the concert hall.

With the same orchestra that Harnoncourt conducted in his celebrated cycle, this could be very good…full cycle due mid-July. For now, one of Beethoven’s finest moments, in 192K MQA.
