New arrival in the mail today and it's rather stunning on first listen with superb DSD sonics from the SACD layer which I now have access to with my new CD player:

Hi Tyson,
To answer yesterday’s question, I certainly hear Carl Nielsen in his work, especially Nielsen’s Fifth and Sixth Symphonies though supposedly in public Langgaard dismissed his work. I can also hear Mahler, Strauss and Wagner.

I think Langgaard's Sixth is another very exciting symphony. There’s a lot of dynamic punch and drama in his work. His influence on Per Norgard is pretty obvious.

I think most people their Langgaard journey with Music of the Spheres.

As in all things, ymmv.

Cheers,
Lester

The PS Audio Directstream Memory Player which feeds my new PS Audio Stellar Gain Cell DAC. Both together are giving me exactly what I was looking for in an upgrade.

This new release contains the jazz version of Rhapsody in Blue.
It is also a live concert recording.

VERY NICE indeed! Andolink, I still don’t understand why I can’t live in your house?

I'm also a fan of Hovhannes. He can get repetitive quickly, but he is certainly special.

There actually is a spare bedroom we're not using all that much...

I have that set too, (and many of your other postings) but the cover of the set is so aggravating. Magnard was a young man when he was killed at the beginning of WW I by the Germans, just 49, and not the old coot that painting shows.
