"CD of the Week ... a real winner, not just for Nebolsin’s playing, but because of the addition of the totally overlooked Concert Fantasia."
- Classic FM
Uzbekistan-born pianist Eldar Nebolsin takes centre stage on this Tchaikovsky programme featuring the Piano Concerto No. 2, performed here in the composer’s original version, full of life-enhancing character and emotion. Also included is Tchaikovsky's rarely presented but beautiful Concert Fantasia; both works allowing unique interaction between soloist and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra led by Michael Stern.
192 kHz / 24-bit, 96 kHz / 24-bit PCM and 5.6448 MHz, 2.8224 MHz DSD – 2xHD - Naxos Studio Masters
96 kHz / 24-bit PCM – mastered in 192 kHz / 24-bit, 96 kHz / 24-bit PCM and 5.6448 MHz, 2.8224 MHz DSD This album is a high-resolution digital transfer of material originating from an analogue master source. It may contain noise, distortion or other artifacts, and may also contain audio which is limited in bandwidth or dynamic range, due to the technology available at the time of its production. As such, it is offered as a high-resolution documentation of a historical release. This album was mastered using our 2xHD proprietary system. In order to achieve the most accurate reproduction of the original recording, we tailor our process specifically for each project, using a selection from our pool of state-of-the-art audiophile components and connectors. The process begins with a transfer to analogue from the original 24-bit / 96 kHz resolution master, using cutting edge D/A converters. The analogue signal is then sent through a high end tube preamplifier before being recorded directly in DSD 5.6 MHz using the Merging Horus/Hapi In and the dCS Vivaldi Clock. All connections used in the process are made of OCC silver cable. Each format (96 kHz, 192 kHz, DSD 2.8 MHz and DSD 5.6 MHz) was created using Merging Horus/Hapi A/D converter, calibrated to the required format, and a dCS Vivaldi clock. 2xHD mastering: René Laflamme and André Perry 2xHD executive producer: André Perry
