Артист: Diverse Альбом: Classics @ Cinema II - More classical Pieces from the Silverscreen, 2008 Издатель: WRG Records Жанр: Classical Формат файла: EAC, FLAC, CVRS, ReMastering, 24/96 Ссылка: CD 110 clicks Нахождение: eDonkey

Hello, my friends. Because of my recent positive experience with remastering classical music and your positive feedback I decided to do a second sampler, also in High Definiton Sound - and I can promise you: this time the sound is even better! The aim for this "sequel" was the same as before: funny, pleasant, very good & sounding perfect. But on the older release I did not so much corrections, only on several tracks like correcting Soundstream resampling errors or equalizing a bit. This time I adapted the older Telarc-releases to the newer Telarc sound and even did a remastering of Orff´s famous Carmina Burana.

Boy, especially the Carmina Burana gave me the creeps! I didn´t want to take the Telarc recording because the interpretation is not good. I chose the recording from the Deutsche Grammophon, made in 1968 with Eugen Jochum and the Deutsche Oper Berlin, it is the only recording personally authorized by Carl Orff himself. While the interpretation is first-class (the solists are a dream), the sound is just horrible. I downloaded it before via eMule in lossless, but I decided to buy it a week ago. Orff would hate me, because I beautified the sound, made it more pleasant and less "dirty". I managed to improve the room impression and to carve out a sonic bloom that was not there before. It still sounds very analogue, not perfect but good and certainly better.

The other release I bought was Telarc´s Round Up as a remastered SACD from 2005. Engineer Michael Bishop did a surround upmix because of popular demand by fans. Sadly he only had the two channel masters from the Sony PCM 1610 done in 1985 (true to their standard, they always recorded in 2-channel). He ended up with boosting huge speakers in the Cincinnati Symphony Hall, playing back the original masters and recording the ambience of that with microphones. While he was at it, he created a new stereo-mix - he also the changed the sound a bit and I wondered what he did. After I figured that out, it was very easy: remastering old Telarc-recordings and lift them into a new era was now really possible! Oh my, did I succeed with this.



After correcting Telarc´s early resampling errors while downconverting from Soundstream I managed to apply more substance, dynamic, warmth, impact and precision to the nearly 30 years old recordings - but not only to the Soundstreams, no, also to the Sony PCM 1610. All recordings are sounding fantastic now, I still can´t believe how good Telarc mastered years ago when all others were in the stone-age! Even with DSP-processing, the sound stayed very very good. It is all there and it is vastly improved.

As with the former release, you´ll have some fun pieces, here there are even more. I incorporated two releases of Deutsche Grammophon ReComposed (remixing of classical recordings by known DJs) which are very dear to me and I happen to like them very much. Also I included more classical mainstream this time like pieces from 2001. A bit cheap... what the heck, it´s fun! Two pieces are not even classical ones but who cares when they are so exciting?

I´ll write a decription soon, but now it is the time for listening to very good music! You won´t be disappointed and you mustn´t wait so long: the archive is 300 MB smaller! Have very much fun and two wonderful hours while listening to this!

And don´t forget: share this! Even when you have finished downloading. Thank you.

Did you extract this Compressed file and try to listen to it with Foobar?..
I DID..
It is corrupt..all files are in flac format and all of them are corrupt..
below is the warning indicated by Foobar

( Decoding failure at 0:14.544 (Unsupported format or corrupted file):Listen to it!\01. Beethoven - Rondo a Capriccio in G Major - Before Sunrise.flac" )

Or may be I did something wrong since 5 years ago ..first time..Did I ?

Your Cooperation would be highly appreciated..
thanks.

I tried the other disc too,it is as well corrupt..
unsupported file format..
pls help..

There´s no need to get angry...

your FLAC-codec is just a bit older than the one I used. Update your foobar2000 and everything should be fine. The codec version I used for it is FLAC 1.2.1.

You can also try dBPowerAmp - that and the newest codec from there was used for encoding to FLAC.

I wish you luck! And a good time listening to both

Thanks for kind Cooperation.
I did it..woww..it sounds amazing..
now would you be so kind to tell me how I can carry it to a CD?
I mean can I produce a CD to play it on an ordinary CD player..or what?

Maybe somebody can share this release on our torrent tracker, please?

You could convert it for playing in your CD player - but I would advise against this because it sounds better the way it is.

BUT: CD is perhaps more unisversal. So, select the playlist in foobar, press your right mouse button, say convert. In Output-format select WAV with 16 Bit, Dither: yes.

After pressing OK for the format details choose a DSP (by checking DSP and editing it). Choose SSRC resampler (perhaps the highest possible quality). Press OK, press OK again and then you´ll have to wait some time depending on how powerful your PC is.

That would be the easiest, fastest way with good quality. If you want to have very good quality you´d have to invest some more work and you would need iZotope RX Advanced.

Thanks..I will try it.

If these tracks are in 24 bit/96 kHz as the first release, I believe the best way to play them on your stereo system would be to burn them to a DVD-Audio disc with a DVD-Audio authoring program such as Minnetonka Discwelder. After you decode them of course. And of course you will need a DVD-Audio player.

Oh, I forgot to write it! Of course they are in 24/96. And I agree: it would be best to convert them to WAVE and then burn it to DVD-Audio for disc playing.
Personally I prefer to listen to it over my PC with a good interface and my HD-600 - I´ve always felt, that some kind of optical disc takes away something.
