5.0 out of 5 stars Astonishing sound improvement to this remaster!, February 21, 2003

By	S. Baird (Baton Rouge, LA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Leinsdorf Sessions 2 (Audio CD)

The Sheffield/Leinsdorf sessions are well known among audiophiles, as they were originally recorded direct to disk, with a master tape safety backup. These selections appeared on seperate CD releases in very good sound quality, but this new 20 bit remaster is among the most dynamic recordings I've heard on CD so far. The frequency bandwidth is also exceptional.

The performances of both the Stravinsky and Wagner selections are excellent too. Sheffield Lab has been out of business for a few years, so I'd recommend that you buy this CD while it's still available.
