Haim,

I bought this album a few weeks ago as XRCD - I had missed out on it before. The co-operation between the two to them is fantastic. Have listened to it many times over the last few weeks.

Cheers ... Oliver

Oliver,

I fully agree. I am playing the xrcd version too and it sounds wonderful even on my very modest Naim system.

Regards,
Haim

Haim,

isn't 'modest Naim system' an oxymoron?

I used to bring music instead of wine in the past as well but after my latest move to Sydney I switched back to wine - Lontano is the only exception, and I had to promise him never to bring any of my Chinese or Japanese instrumental recordings to the party. I mostly get this reaction:

Enjoy your Saturday night, I'm taking my son now to the park - its a nice and sunny day here in Sydney.

Cheers ... Oliver

For anyone who has ever fancied a bit of Jewish/Cuban music played by a Canadian on a New York record label, this could be for you.

Great album - well reviewed in many places

This cd, lent to me by a friend who said he'd purchased it at a 'Library Sale' for the princely sum of 50p. The case is the scruffiest i've ever seen but excusing that, the cd was so dirty and scuffed i washed it in mild soap and water before putting it in my cdi player!
It plays remarkably well considering, and the music is very good indeed! : )

Lontano,

Had to turn off the system, kids golf tournament cancelled - now it is a beautiful day again. Amazing where that came from.

... back to this one, its really growing on me ...
Any views if the HDCD contributes to the great sound quality of this recording?

If you like Nielsen you should,imho, try the Regis printing of Springtime in Funen.
