What are you listening to right now? (VOL II)

Quote
"Sunrise" is the nickname given to one of the most famous violins Stradivarius made. It falls into a special category of decorative instruments, which he made in very limited quantities beginning in 1677 with this violin. Through the courtesy of Mr. Michio Fujii, who is the current owner of "Sunrise," it is transformed onto CD to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the demise of Stradivarius by the talented violinist Yoko Fujita. "Sunrise" seems to have peculiar tonality. If force is applied excessively by the artist, it sounds awkward and if force is exerted too gently, the sound is not produced at all. These features form the "miracle of Sunrise" as it lets people hear its wonderful acoustics.

Munch,
did not even mention this one on the MFSL thread as not everyone is into Monaural recordings.

Hard to believe that the fantastic sound of this outstanding album could still be improved. I just did the shoot out between the 2004 FIM SACD (redbook layer) and the 2008 TBM XRCD and the XRCD won in my book - but we are talking very marginal here.

If you do not have this record - get it - any version of it is a must have.
