Barber： Adagio , Tchaikovsky： Serenade for Strings , etc. – Slatkin[DST SACD – DSD SACD

专辑简介：
This has always been a splendid collection of memorable masterpieces and especially the celebrated Barber Adagio comes of splendidly with strings that soar above the stave. The recording was very good indeed despite the fact that it was an early 16bit/50kHz soundstream recording. The DSD remastering has brought even higher definition, bloom and wide dynamic range. The orchestra play like angels for maestro Slatkin and the Adagio and Pachelbel’s Kanon are the highpoints of this wonderful collection. Pity it is not multichannel and not original DSD because the performances are really perfect. The sound quality could have been a little bit more transparent, but the air and bloom around the string sections and the velvety quality of the strings really ravish the ear.
