An excellent performance and recording, IMHO.

I am at present about an hour an da half into it.

More important than my particular taste in classical is the increase in posting. This thread barely had a pulse a few years ago, so the guys that are putting their impressions out there are an overall positive.

So, on the turntable today was Guitar Music by Fernando Sor performed by Alice Artzt on the rather obscure Meridian Records label. 1978 release and pressing.
Sor is often acknowledged as the father of Spanish guitar.

Certainly the most dramatic reading I've ever heard of the Tchaikovsky 6. Perhaps overly so?

I have not listened to this in a bit. I saw it just last week on another site and meant to pull it off my shelf.

I will now.

OK, I am halfway through...

No, not too dramatic, IMHO. It is simply fantastic. I recalled enjoying it but I really took teh time today to listen, I love it's intensity.

Yep - Qobuz. I like them because they have the largest library of Classical music I could find, a lot of it in true hirez.

Interesting. This does not look like Qobuz.

As I know it, Qobuz has no rating or genre label. I am glad to learn this. I do not use Qobuz as that it does not interface well with all my systems. Plus, I don't like it's skin.

Is the rating individual or is it meshed with others to produce one rating? I would consider adding it as another streaming service if the rating is unique to me, not meshed with others.

I'm not sure. I've got it integrated with Roon so that's actually the Roon interface you see.

OK, that is why I don't recognize it.

I use JRivers still. When everyone made the jump to Roon I figured it was not right for me even though Rivers sucks and Roon is hailed.

Some India classical? Just released

I avoided Roon for a long time because I had a lots of DSD files and Jriver could play them and Roon couldn't. But now Roon can play .dsf files so I switched over.
