Hello all
my first post.. ;-)

So, a list for me of superb HD albums (all bought on Qobuz, sometimes HDtracks)
- Roger Waters - Amused to death 24/96 one of my favorite
- Bachar Mar-Khalifé - Ya Balad 24/48 an amazing music and a superb recording
- Prokofiev Piano works by Abdel Rahman El Bacha 24/88
- Brad Meldhau - 10 years solo live 24/44
- Hildegard von Bingen : Vox cosmica by Arianna Savall 24/96 the daughter of Jordi Savall, a superb voice
- Los Pajaros Perdidos - Christina Pluhar 24/88
- What Was Said - Tord Gustavsen 24/96 (generally speaking all ECM recording are superb)

Etc... I realize I must stop; I have over 3K albums. Even some traditional 16/44 are beautifully recorded (Mozart piano works by Barenboim, as an example)

Got a hold of the Hildegard von Bingen album, it's excellent Thanks!

Those downloads (Sound Liaison) are very good. They have an almost analogue warmth, and the sound-stage is among the best I have heard.
But if people want a taste of the quality that this little independent delivers, download one of the samples. They sound a lot better than You Tube.

It is a fantastic album download. Carmen Gomes and the blues is a wonderful combination. And sound engineer Frans de Rond has surpassed himself in sound quality. Each instrument stands out and blends perfectly. I dare say a new classic is born.

It is indeed fantastic.

Yes, I think so too. It is of course difficult to say with the album still so fresh but I believe this will stand the test of time.

There is a free sample of the first song in all kinds of resolutions. A try before you buy kind of sampler. Very good service.

Interesting comparing the 2 albums. Bass player/ producer Peter Bjornild's arrangements on some songs are almost recomposing, nothing but the melody is the same.
