Here is a hit and miss report, as sometimes happens when you buy new music you have never heard before.
MISS:
Yo Yo Ma has a new CD out, with Kathryn Stott, "Songs from the Arc of Life". Just released and he has even been on talk shows touting it (or in support of it).
It has 20 pieces on it and they just do not do anything for me. One is the lullaby song, sorry, just don't need an expensive recording of anybody doing that song. YMMV, just was hoping for a LOT more.
HIT:
The Auyrn Quartet recorded in Hi Res True Surround sound, in this case 4 channels each full range with one piece of the string quartet taking a channel, you are in the middle of the quartet enjoying this most awesome recording of "French String Quartets" by Ravel, Debussey and Faure. It is a TACET recording and extremely well done. It is DVD-Audio so the Oppo is needed to play it.
My T 2s and T 3s are equal enough so that I am in the middle of a seamless or at least 4 point surround. Here is where having full range surrounds REALLY SHINE!!!!!!
I am gonna guess this is not everybody's kind of music. And IF I had to guess, I would have guessed that I would really like the Yo Yo Ma/Stott, but that this French music would just be suitable for background music during a nice dinner.
WHOA, it is the other way around. I am surprised at how good this Auyrn Quartet music is.
Still I know it is not for everybody. Soon I hope to report on a couple of blu rays that SHOULD BE for just about everybody.
God Bless,
Wayne
God bless the child that's got his own.
