Philippe Entremont’s delightful 1967 release, here with stunning Nearly Triple Plus (A++ to A+++) grades on both sides of this Stereo 360 pressing – just shy of our Shootout Winner
It’s also fairly quiet at Mint Minus Minus, a grade that even our most well-cared-for vintage classical titles have trouble playing at
This wonderful pressing is solid and weighty, with less smear, situated in the bigger space, with more energetic performances
These sides are big, full-bodied, clean and clear, with a wonderfully present piano and plenty of 3D space around it
Some old record collectors (like me) say classical recording quality ain’t what it used to be – here’s all the proof anyone with two working ears and top quality audiophile equipment needs to make the case
Dynamic, huge, lively, transparent and natural – with a record this good, your ability to suspend disbelief requires practically no effort at all
