Perfect remastering of a wonderful ballet
A definitive edition of this wonderful ballet. I particularly appreciated this edition for the music and, as an audiophile, for the excellent remastering.

One of the great performances of Falla's Three Cornered Hat, possibly THE greatest
This is one of the great performances of Manuel de Falla's "The Three Cornered Hat", possibly THE greatest. Victoria De Los Angeles is in glorious voice on this recording. The performance by De Burgos is by turns rousing, raucous, delicate, and filled with wry humor. He captures a distinctive Spanish flair that so nicely differentiates this performance and sets it apart from so many others. Recorded by the legendary HMV/EMI recording engineer Christopher Parker, the orchestral sound captured is a great success. It is detailed, fully fleshed, and dynamic, with excellent resolution of inner detail (woodwinds shine!), and a broad well-defined soundstage. No, this is not the sound of Decca or Mercury. But it is vintage EMI and truly excellent. And the sound of this transfer, as I'm listening to it in DSD256, is gorgeous. Clear, transparent, and with full frequency range extension. I'm just delighted to have this recording back in my music library in such excellent sound quality.
A classic recording - beautifully transparent and delightfully fresh and alive sounding
Such a delight to find this album once again! The sound quality is as good in this transfer as I remembered it to be from my vinyl, perhaps better. And this is saying a lot because this vintage L'Oiseau-Lyre recording was always one of the best sounding albums from my vinyl days. The sound is delicately detailed, with the full recreation of the most natural sounding timbre of the instruments that one may wish for. Osian Ellis' harp holds principal place in the soundstage, perhaps even a bit more than it should, but his was always the way of this recording. Flute, strings, winds, and harp are lustrous. The opening Introduction et Allegro by Ravel is simply ravishing. As Rob P writes below, this has always been a classic. And, of the many Kenneth Wilkinson recordings I admire in the HDTT catalog, this recording rises to the very top. HDTT's DSD256 transfer is transparent and delightfully fresh and alive sounding.
