Ravel: Bolero, Bizet: Carmen Suite - Semyon Bychkov        (9 of 10 found this review helpful)
  July 5, 2005

A nice job of remastering a multi-track recording (24bit/48khz) by the Emil Berliner Studio using AMSI II process, the surround space is well defined, the clarity is not at the level of modern direct-to-DSD but still very good, the orchestra close but not too close, and it is played with force or ... more
