Warner Bros. 7599-27313-2, Fleetwood Mac, “Rumours”
Many excellent tracks, "Oh Daddy" being one of the best.
It was a huge best-seller, nice to see that quality is rewarded by the public.
It has some three-dimensional qualities, which normally is a non-existent feature in rock or pop
recordings. Compare depth to:
EMI CDS 7 54368 2 Georges Bizet “Carmen” with Maria Callas
The conclusion of Act II opens the second disc. You can hear the male singer walking across at the
rear of the hall while singing, and later walking towards stage center front.
The recording is a reference for three-dimensional sound.
On a fine system, you can measure the size of the hall with your ears, and on the best systems you
can hear that he walks deeper into the stage while walking across from right to left.
You can clearly hear the acoustics change while he is walking.
The recording is from 1964, it has some distortion at high levels, and Mrs Callas was always a bit
shrill sounding, but who cares when the drama unfolds like this. It is like "seeing" with your ears.
The new remastering EMI 7543 5 566281 2 1 fortunately retains most of the magic.
Telarc CD-80098, Erich Kunzel and Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, „Ein Straussfest“
Telarc show here that CD strings can be sweet sounding, and the first track, "Explosions Polka", will
jolt everybody when it starts.
On a fine system, the explosion is extremely fast and splits in an air-blowing attack, a roar and a
decay of the hall, just like a real New Year’s celebrational explosion sounds.
Warner Bros. 7599-26656-2 “Fourplay”
Bob James, Lee Ritenour, Nathan East and Harvey Mason cooking together is an experience to
be savoured.
A dry studio recording, not much depth to speak of, but exceptionally clean.
The first track builds slowly into a crescendo, which will test the system’s ability to resolve a
complex sound at high levels over a longer time. A power supply and heat sink test. When the
level goes down at the end, the sound should be the same as in the beginning.
This CD has been used at many shows, and it does not fail, many visitors ask for the label and
number, so that they can go out and buy it.
