A Special DSD Surprise from Rachel Podger & Native DSD

[bmoura]

Rachel Podger and Native DSD have released one of her early recordings Twelve Fantasies for Solo Violin in Stereo and Multichannel DSD. To date, this album has only been available on Stereo CD - not on SACD or DSD Download.

Jared Sacks from Native DSD - and the recording and mastering engineer on the album notes:

"In November of 2001, one of my first recordings using the DSD technology was in a small unknown church – Dorset England. Rachel Podger had chosen the church as she had played a concert there as some point and thought it would be perfect for the solo Telemann Sonatas. I agreed sight unseen.

The church turned out to be very small with very close side walls with no place for me to sit with my equipment. Granted it was very silent (in the middle of fields) but I was just not happy with the acoustics so that I decided to only release this album on Normal CD in 44.1 PCM. A couple of months ago I listened to the DSD master again and have now decided to still bring this out on DSD Stereo and Multichannel. DSD does give the extra dimension of imagery and honesty to the sound which in the end does enlighten the music listening."
