RidleyGuy and myself had a splendid second listening of the Piano Forte with new music. We listened to Faure's Requiem with Kathleen Battle.
The ambiance was captured and rendered perfectly with the PF. The projection, the soundstage, showcased the music perfectly. It is another album for which the PF's were made for. Listening to it on even my HD800 ruins everything. The live concert feeling is lost, the soundstage is 3-D and unnatural... the PF's really did a great job with this.
RG mentioned perhaps a weekday night would be better for the group?
My selection is up next, we shall listen in about 2 weeks time.
Keith Jarret, with Jack DeJohnette and Gary Peacock:
Somewhere (Live In Lucerne / 2009), ECM, 2013 - Here on HDTracks.
"Now in its 30th year, the Keith Jarrett Trio is widely considered, as the New York Times recently remarked, to have set “the gold standard” for jazz groups, and this sparking concert recording from 2009 is issued to mark a milestone anniversary. The “Somewhere” in which the ‘Standards’ trio finds themselves is Lucerne, Switzerland with a performance both exploratory and in-the-tradition. The Neue Zeitung praised the show as “controlled ecstasy.” This must-have album features the standards “Solar,” “Deep Space,” “Stars Fell On Alabama,” “Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea” and much more."
