It is time again for a brilliant, dazzling and spectacular collection of mine - Classics @ Cinema - Classical Pieces from the Silverscreen. On it you will find classical pieces that were used in more or less popular movies - and all that with spectacular and balanced sound. I shared this before on another forum, so you´ll already find some sources for this huge release (2.3 GB). This is my second release here after my Enigma-Best-Of, so please excuse, that I´m not russian. I sadly can´t speak russian, excuse this please. Before I was at HQShare.net for a long time releasing some remastered releases. The people who know me form there are knowing, that I love quality releases - and that you can expect the same from me.
The goal I wanted to achieve was not quite serious - you will find a crude mixture of famous and not so famous pieces by famous classical composers. Some of the interpretations are not so serious as well so if you are an avid collector of classical music, looking only for divine interpretations... stay away! But if you seek fun, fantastic sound and some very good and critically acclaimed productions then download this collection - you won´t be dissapointed.
On it you´ll find several pieces from Telarc, Deutsche Grammophon, RCA & other lables. EVERY piece was remastered, some more, others less. Some interpretations are critically acclaimed, for example Tracks 5, 7, 9, 11 and 12. Other interpretations are taken from Telarc releases - in them you´ll have synthesizers, cannons and pistols. I also included a piece from "The Lord of the Rings" since Howard Shore (who composes also classical pieces) made concert pieces out of the material written for the movies, that are relatively successful. The material mostly comes from CDs, three Tracks (2, 6, 13) are real 24 Bit sources, taken from HDCD or DVD-Audio.
Every track is in 24/96 and it sounds that way so I advise you to use only the best hardware possible for you. The tracks are coded with FLAC, so that most network-players like the Squeezebox or Linn can play them instantly. You can burn them on a DVD-Audio of course, they are in their pure form. You can even enhance them further but I won´t do that :wink:
The volume warning on the cover should be taken seriously: the last track is an organ piece recorded at Cologne Cathedral. The organist used it as a showpiece, I changed the sound in that direction. Now the piece boasts a really frightening, thundering and loud bass which very well could blow your speakers.
Aside from that I aimed for a perfect sound. You won´t find show effects here. I used only the best tools available to me, the most important Algorithmix EQ which is the only EQ I know, which does not have any side-effects and no sound of its own. If I used EQ I did it very carfully. If the source was a CD I ripped it with EAC the proper & only way to retain every little bit of sound. Every processing step was done in 32 Bit & 96 kHz. For the FLAC-files I decreased the bit-depth to 24 Bit with MBIT+.
The upsampling was done with my own algorithm which is able to restore 60 % of the original HighDef sound, keeping transients, precision and recreating room impression. Upsampling CAN have a positive effect if it is done right. Like here.
A friend of mine said while listening to this collection "I couldn´t believe my ears, there was playing a digital source but it sounds like virgin 180g vinyl." That is pretty much it. The most perfect sound you´ll ever get from digital sound. Precision & warmth at the same time shaking hands.
Have fun! Go out and buy some TELARC-CDs. They are producing the best CDs ever - and they are worth the price. And keep this archive alive, don´t delete it. Share it with persons you like, it´s too big to go away fast.
